Kongens Lyngby
Are you passionate about electrocatalysis and Power-to-X technologies? Do you enjoy working closely with industry partners to convert research findings into cutting-edge products? If so, we have the perfect PhD opportunity for you.
This PhD project aims to develop atomically dispersed metal electrocatalysts that will enable the electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide through the reduction of oxygen using renewable electricity. This reaction is critical to decarbonizing the hydrogen peroxide production industry, which currently generates over 20 million tons of greenhouse gases and 55 million tons of chemical waste annually. To achieve this objective, we'll deeply integrate experimental and computational studies in catalyst development. In addition to this PhD position with the focus on experimental studies, we'll post a second PhD position soon focusing on theoretical studies. Both PhD students will work closely within project RADICAL, which is fully funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. Besides, we'll also be collaborating with HPNow, a Danish producer of on-site hydrogen peroxide generators, as well as research groups from Imperial College (UK), Institute Charles Gerhardt Montpellier (France), and National Research Council of Italy (Italy) on topics such as catalyst testing, reactor development, computational simulations, and more.
At DTU Energy, we have been carrying out R&D in sustainable energy conversion technologies, including HT-PEMFC, for several decades and we are among the world’s leaders in research and development in this area. We have excellent facilities and competencies to carry out research from fundamental studies of electrochemical materials to the fabrication of lab-scale components and devices. To facilitate this project, we have recently developed cutting-edge experimental devices and equipment, including a variety of devices for in-situ and operando studies of catalyst structures under realistic synthesis and operating conditions.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The focus of this PhD project is to synthesize atomically dispersed metal electrocatalysts with uniform and high-density active sites through a sequential synthesis process, aiming to precisely control the structures of the active sites. A series of in-situ techniques will be employed to investigate the synthesis mechanisms and to determine the active site structures. From the well-defined active sites, we will gain a clear understanding of the structure-performance relationship of the active site in these next-generation H2O2 catalysts.
Your primary tasks include:
Qualified applicants must have:
It would be beneficial if you have taken courses or carried out studies on
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment

Assessment
The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Yang Hu ([email protected] +45 52651275), Associate Professor Heine Anton Hansen ([email protected]), and Head of Section Professor Johan Hjelm ([email protected]).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment.

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage is focused on education, research, and development within functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technologies. In a sustainable energy system a large part of the energy will be supplied by fluctuating sources such as solar and wind power. This makes it critically important to be able to convert and store the energy as needed. The researchers in the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage work on technologies and materials for direct conversion and subsequent storage of different forms of energy.
Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
