Postdocs (2) in N2 activation into NH3 using Thermal or Electrochemical approaches at SurfCat | Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby‐Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark | Technical University of Denmark

Position:	Postdocs (2) in N2 activation into NH3 using Thermal or Electrochemical approaches at SurfCat
Institution:	Technical University of Denmark
Location:	Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby‐Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark
Duties:	We have a successful record of activating molecular nitrogen both through thermal and electrochemically. Thermally we have found new classes of promotion based on spin quenching on Cobalt and Nickel doing surface science experiment. We are now aiming at realising high area materials capitalizing on this insight. Electrochemically we have been focussing on the Li mediated process. Nevertheless, the potential requirement by using Li is very high and we are therefore looking for alternative metals and processes for activating molecular Nitrogen. The work will for both positions be focussed on synthesis, test, and characterization
Requirements:	The successful candidate is well-motivated, hardworking, and willing/able to work as part of a team. The candidate should have a PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or Materials Science and a profound experience/insight in catalysis. Here it is absolute mandatory that the candidate has extensive experience with synthesizing, characterization, and testing. Explicit experience with ammonia both directly from N2 is considered an advantage but not a necessity, although experience with work under ultra-clean conditions is a must
