TTM Factory lance un appel à candidatures
5 janvier 2023OFFRE D’EMPLOI : Technicien(ne) système d’électrolyse du CO2
11 janvier 2023Offre : Postdoc position in the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to ethylene
|
The SATT AxLR is deployed on the Mediterranean arc of Occitanie. Its purpose is to increase the intensity of the transfer of technologies resulting from public research while perfecting the innovation process. As part of its development, it recruits: Postdoc position in the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to ethylene (H/F) |
Projet
Our group has recently reported promising strategies for the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to valuable products such as carbon monoxide (ACS Catalysis, 2021, 11, 20, 12701-12711; ACS Nano 2021, 15, 4, 7682-7693) or ethylene (Nature Communications, 2021, 12, 7210). The successful candidate will be responsible for scaling up this CO2 conversion technology using a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) flow cell with a view to launching a startup. Specifically, he/she will address the following main challenges: 1) scaling up the electrochemical reduction system, 2) achieving ultra-long stability.
The ambition of this project is to launch a start-up that will enhance industrial CO2 emissions.
Missions
-
Integrating of our membrane electrode assembly (MEA) cells into a continuous flow CO2 electrolyzer,
-
Identifying technical solutions for scaling up our technology
-
Provide techno-economic analyses of the technology based on experimental progress
