Catalyst Development and Spectroscopic Imaging

The characterization of structural properties in nanostructures is a major challenge in materials science, particularly in catalysis. Copper is gaining attention as a viable alternative to precious transition metals due to its abundance and high activity in various industrially relevant reactions. However, the active phase of Cu in different reactions remains a subject of debate.

Coherent X-ray diffractive imaging in the Bragg geometry emerges as a powerful non-destructive technique for probing the three-dimensional structure of nanomaterials. Building on our successful application of BCDI during (electro-)chemical reactions, we are now poised to extend this technique to include spectroscopic capabilities.

Job Description

  • Develop and apply the nano-focused 3D spectroscopic coherent imaging technique at the nanoprobe ID01-EBS beamline of The European Synchrotron.
  • Develop a robust algorithm for 3D spectroscopic Bragg imaging to allow imaging in 3D complex crystalline materials at the nanoscale.
  • Reveal chemical and structural information of alloyed Cu catalysts under gas conditions to extract mechanistic understanding for designing effective and selective CO2 reduction catalysts.

Requirements

  • Hold a degree allowing enrollment for a PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a closely related field.
  • Programming skills (Python) and experience or interest in developing data analysis software are required.
  • Interest in material science and catalysis are important.
  • Strong interest in challenging experimental work is desired.
  • Good interpersonal, communication, organizational, and presentational skills.
  • Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF).
