方向：博士职位：阳极上碳氢化合物的电化学辅助烯丙基氧化：高级实验表征和优化
位置：布鲁塞尔自由大学，比利时
截止日期：16 Feb 2025 - 23:00 (Europe/Brussels)
项目介绍：
The multidisciplinary Sustainable Materials Engineering (SUME) research group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD candidate to contribute to the development of redox mediators incorporated carbon anodes capable of proceeding the selective oxidation of olefins in mild conditions regarding temperature and O2 content. This 4-year PhD position on advanced experimental and spectro-electrochemical characterization and optimization of state-of-the-art selective oxidation of olefins is part of a Flemish collaborative project involving multiple academic partners.
The research work will be carried out at Electrochemical and Surface Engineering (SURF) laboratory of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in collaboration with the research group Applied Electrochemistry & Catalysis (ELCAT) at the University of Antwerp and Centre for Membrane Separations, Adsorption, Catalysis, and Spectroscopy for Sustainable Solutions (cMACS) at KU Leuven. This vacancy focuses on experimental research.
Description
You will work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural research environment with people from all over the world in one large community, oriented to study electrochemical processes combining electrochemical techniques, and surface characterization (both ex-situ and in-situ). The development of the modified anodes will be performed at UA and KUL, while VUB will provide valuable mechanistic insights and methodology due to the state-of-the-art capability of in-depth in situ analysis of (hybrid) interfaces and active surfaces.
To perform this research, you will have access to a wide range of advanced equipment and techniques in electrochemistry such as potentiostats, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and operando odd random phase EIS (ORP-EIS), surface analysis at the nanoscale (FE-SEM, FE-Auger, XPS, Ellipsometry, AFM/STM, Raman, ...), and particularly important for this research work, ATR-FTIR in Kretschmann geometry.
布鲁塞尔自由大学（VUB）的多学科可持续材料工程（SUME）研究小组正在寻求一名积极进取、才华横溢的博士候选人，为开发氧化还原介质碳阳极做出贡献，该阳极能够在温度和氧气含量温和的条件下进行烯烃的选择性氧化。这个为期 4 年的博士职位是弗拉芒合作项目的一部分，该项目涉及烯烃选择性氧化的先进实验和光谱电化学表征及优化。研究工作将在布鲁塞尔自由大学（VUB）的电化学和表面工程（SURF）实验室进行，并与安特卫普大学的应用电化学和催化（ELCAT）研究小组以及鲁汶大学的可持续解决方案膜分离、吸附、催化和光谱学中心（cMACS）合作。该职位空缺侧重于实验研究。职位描述 您将在一个多学科、多文化的研究环境中工作，与来自世界各地的人员在一个大社区中共同研究电化学过程，结合电化学技术和表面表征（原位和原位）。改性阳极的开发将在 UA 和 KUL 进行，而 VUB 则将凭借对（混合）界面和活性表面进行深入原位分析的先进能力，提供宝贵的机理见解和方法。
为了开展这项研究，您将有机会使用各种先进的电化学设备和技术，如恒电位仪、电化学阻抗光谱（EIS）、ORP-EIS、纳米级表面分析（FE-SEM、FE-Auger、XPS、椭偏仪、AFM/STM、拉曼......），以及对这项研究工作尤为重要的 Kretschmann 几何结构的 ATR-FTIR 技术。
