Job Title: PhD Position in Solar-Driven Photovoltaic and Electrochemical Conversion to C–N

Job Title: PhD Position in Solar-Driven Photovoltaic and Electrochemical Conversion to C–N
Hiring Company: Join the SUN2CN project at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Twente to develop next-generation solar-to-X devices that merge photovoltaics and electrochemistry for chemical production. As a PhD researcher, you will convert CO2 and nitrates from waste streams into valuable C–N compounds, contributing to renewable energy and chemistry sectors. You will design and test photoelectrochemical reactors that integrate porous photovoltaic membranes with selective electrocatalysts in a flow cell system. By doing so, you will push the boundaries of solar-driven chemical production while addressing challenges in CO2 waste and wastewater treatment.
