The Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.; MPG) is a world-leading, independent, non-profit research organization with the goal to promote cutting-edge basic research. Within 84 Max Planck Institutes over 24,000 employees pursue basic research in broad areas of life and natural sciences as well as humanities, social…
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis to work with Professor Michael Neidig for a period of up to 36 months. The post is supported by the EPSRC and is focused on developing a detailed understanding of structure-activity relationships and mechanism in iron-catalysed C-H…
We are seeking an outstanding candidate for a position as postdoctoral researcher in organofluorine chemistry. Our group focuses on the development of methods to chart unknown chemical space through two strategies: (I) unlocking unknown reactivity modes of known small molecules or (II) developing new reagents for the preparation of unknown…
We are working on developing electrodeposition methods for directly synthesizing Ni-based catalysts on porous carbon transport layers (PTLs) for application in zero gap AEM electrolysers. Electrodeposition is a useful technique because: (i) Conformal coatings can be deposited onto geometrically complex substrates; (ii) Cheap substrates, such as carbon, can be used as they…
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professor Andrew Weller for up to 36 months. The project will focus around an exciting opportunity to develop truly robust, scalable, controllable and efficient catalyst systems for the manufacture of polyaminoboranes (BN analogs of polyolefins) and their subsequent use in the…
Human deep space exploration will rely on efficient and sustainable life support systems for the production of oxygen and other chemicals as well as the recycling of carbon dioxide. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices are investigated for the light-assisted production of hydrogen and carbon-based fuels from CO2 within the green energy transition on…
Microporous materials SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 play a crucial role in various petrochemical and environmental processes such as methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH) which enables replacement of fossil fuels with carbon neutral renewable methanol feedstock to produce gasoline, olefins and aromatics [1-3]. Thus, the fundamental studies to unravel the underlying MTH reaction…
Sulfated zirconia and titania supported V-W-O are well-known as catalysts of super solid acid and for NH3-SCR, respectively. Since the developments of these catalysts in the last three decades, extensive fundamental research has been conducted for understanding the origin of their catalysis. However, the understanding has not reached definite level…
