Research Associate: Photoanode–Catalyst Interface Engineering for Photoelectrochemical Energy Conversion

26.01., Academic staff

The CO₂UPLED junior research group at the Walter Schottky Institute (TUM) is seeking a PhD candidate to develop oxynitride photoanodes and transparent catalyst layers for solar water splitting. We offer a Research Associate position (TV‑L E13 75%) with the possibility to pursue a PhD, access to state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure, and integration into the SINATRA research initiative.

The ‑driven
water splitting and CO2 reduction.

CO2UPLED
aims to establish a knowledge-based approach to interface design, aiming to strategically
integrate novel thin-film photoelectrode materials based on oxynitrides,
transparent catalyst layers, and electrolytes. The methodology employed
includes the creation of systematic material libraries, advanced spectroscopy
methods under reaction conditions, and th...
