General description of the project:
Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Mechatronics, is conducting research under the Opus 27 grant entitled "Designing the electronic properties of novel 2D layered crystals via alloy engineering for efficient photo-electro-chemical action", financed by the National Science Centre.
The scientific goal of the project is to conduct fundamental investigations into MXene-based electroactive MXenes. As part of the research tasks under the NCN project, the holder of the doctoral student scholarship position will be required to conduct scientific research, in particular under WP 5: "Preparation and characterization of structure, composition, morphology and optical and electrochemical properties of the alloyed 2D structures" and WP 6: "Research on the photo-electro-chemical efficiency of alloys in HER/OER processes in the in-operando mode". The student will have his/her PhD programme planned in the WUT PhD school around compositional analysis through spectroscopic analyses, including in-operando Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Implementation of MPX3 and MBenes in advanced electrodes to ensure optimal performance. The recruited PhD student will also participate in preparing scientific publications and disseminating project results at scientific conferences.
What we offer:
1. Scholarship contract and competitive remuneration package.
2. Work in a dynamic and competent scientific group with an excellent research environment and international cooperation, promoting publications in high-impact journals.
3. Financial support for abroad scientific visits and attending conferences.
4. Encouragement and support in preparing grant applications and general career development.
