PhD Position in Operando Gassensing
Work-Life-Balance
[...] (defect) structures and activity/ selectivity are studied by combining variety of spectroscopic techniques. Controlled synthesis and nanoscale structuring using atomic layer deposition enable the design of surfaces for applications in catalysis and alternative energy. We are currently seeking a Research
Assistant (f/m/d) to join our activities in the field of mechanistic investigation of chemical sensors using operando and transient spectroscopy. Chemical sensors based on
metal oxide semiconductors are widely used due to their high sensitivity to target gases and simple production processes. However, the underlying mechanisms (gas sensing, catalysis) remain unclear, hindering the rational design of improved materials. The goal of this project is to elucidate the working principles of technologically relevant metal oxide gas sensors, i. e. , materials loaded with noble metals, using state-of-the-art operando and transient spectroscopic techniques. The aim is to develop a comprehensive mechanistic understanding that encompasses the metal oxide, the noble metal, and their interaction. Responsibilities Contributing to the above-mentioned research project
Fabrication and characterization of metal oxide gas sensors (including XRD, XPS, Raman, UV-Vis, SEM/ TEM) Investigation of the gas sensing behavior in different gas atmospheres Establishing structure-property relationships using operando and transient spectroscopy (IR, Raman, UV-Vis) Elucidation of the operating mechanisms of metal oxide gas sensors Documentation and presentation of research results Participation in teaching activities within the field of Physical Chemistry, e. g. , supervision of tutorials and lab courses in Physical Chemistry Your Profile Completed university degree (M. Sc./ Diploma) in Chemistry, Physics, or Materials Science Prior knowledge in gas sensing, solid-state chemistry/ physics, and/or in situ/ operando spectroscopy is advantageous We Offer Technical University of Darmstadt offers varied and challenging assignments, freedom to work independently, the latest technologies, [...]
