PhD Position in the SynDiPET Project

IMD-2 – Materials Synthesis and Manufacturing Processes (formerly IEK-1) conducts research into and develops materials, parts and components for current and future high-efficiency energy conversion and storage systems. High-performance ceramics play a key role in this work. The research areas of IMD-2 are: materials for high-temperature applications (thermal insulation and protective coatings for hydrogen gas turbines, fusion plants and solar thermal systems), gas separation membranes for hydrogen and oxygen, sorbents for the direct removal of CO₂ from the air, and catalytic membrane reactors for energy-efficient processes, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyser cells (SOEC) for the production of H2 and CO, and coatings for low-temperature electrolysers, as well as lithium and sodium solid-state batteries with high safety and stability for stationary and mobile applications. The researchers’ expertise, ranging fro...
