You will be updated with latest job alerts via emailThe Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to work in Prof. Emilio Palomares research group. This position will be funded by the PHOTORED (Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 by green hydrogen PLEC) project.
ICIQ is one of the worlds internationally recognized leading institutions in the field of chemistry committed to solving major social and economic challenges by conducting top quality research in three main areas: Sustainable Catalysis Renewable Energy and Health. The institute also aims at training the future generation of scientists by offering highquality educational programs to master PhD students and postdoctoral researchers (full details on ).
ICIQ is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work in Prof. Emilio Palomares research group on the project Photored. This project aims at developing materials to promote selective CO2 hydrogenation with solar light. The reactions will be promoted by solar light as the sole or primary energy source using appropriate photocatalysts developed in the project. The photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenations will be carried out under continuous flow. The green hydrogen required in the process will be obtained by water electrolysis.
Responsibilities
The researcher will be responsible for the development of hybrid porous materials for the capture of CO2 and their characterization of their structural properties. The researcher will assist as well in the characterization of the properties of materials with photocatalytic properties. The researcher will deliver internal reports and write manuscripts based on the experimental results. His/her participation in national and international proposals is also encouraged.
Requirements
The applicants must have at least 2 years of experience as postdoctoral researcher in the area of organic/hybrid (porous) molecular materials and characterization of structural and optical properties of materials.
