PhD - Electrochemical Interface Engineering of Advanced Liquid Alkaline Water Electrolysis | PhD - Electrochemical Interface Engineering of Advanced Liquid Alkaline Water Electrolysis

Job Summary

This PhD position at Bosch focuses on advancing alkaline electrolysis (AEL) for hydrogen production through electrochemical interface engineering. The role involves evaluating structure-property relationships of electrodes, porous transport layers, and diaphragms, alongside electrochemical characterization at the single-cell level. You will adapt existing models, plan test campaigns, produce active layers, and analyze their interaction within membrane electrode assemblies. The ideal candidate will contribute to shaping the understanding of key component function in disruptive hydrogen technologies, designing next-generation AEL components through experimental analysis, and collaborating within an interdisciplinary research team and academic network. This is an opportunity to drive fundamental research, publish findings in renowned journals, and contribute to sustainable energy solutions.
