Electrochemical Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to value-added products

About the group:

Our group focuses on finding sustainable and green chemistry approaches to create a closed-carbon economy and hydrogen-based industry. We use electrochemistry for CO2 reduction and hydrogen evolution and to selectively convert organic molecules to value-added products. We develop catalysts, electrodes and electrolysis systems to provide a scalable platform for future industrial applications. 

What they are looking for in students:

We are looking for students that are enthusiastic about electrochemistry and inorganic chemistry and wish to learn about holistic approaches to design electrochemical systems in an application-oriented manner. Basic knowledge about electrochemical techniques is beneficial, as well as knowledge about quantification of organic compounds via chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
