Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research fellow on an EPSRC funded project. The project aims to explore the emergent nanomaterials in electrochemical applications, specifically a group of titanate perovskites capable of exsolving their B-site metal as nanocatalysts on the surface, to advance materials development in high temperature solid oxide cells, and to provide a detailed understanding on the electrochemistry involved in various energy conversion processes, the mechanism of the redox exsolution processes, as well as its dependence on critical compositions and defect chemistry. The core research programme will address topics relating to optimisation of interface structures, morphologies and compositions to enhance performance, longevity and value in CO2 electrolysis as well as in fuel cells applications with this exciting class of materials.

This post, fixed term for 24 months, provides an excellent career development opportunity for a post-doctoral researcher in solid state chemistry/electrochemistry to work in an established laboratory with over 40 researchers within an international context.
