PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical analysis of sustainable electrodes for post Li-ion batteries
Li-ion batteries (LIBs), as the market leading power sources for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large scale stationary energy storage technologies experience a growing economic and ecologic importance worldwide. However, the rapid growing demand for LIBs would deplete the earths’ resources eventually, especially for the critical metals such as Li, Ni and Co. This confronts us with the necessity to rethink battery chemistries for finding ways into more sustainability. The ways into meeting the demand for higher energy density and sustainability are multifold. One approach are new battery concepts with new core chemistries known as “Post-LIB” technologies. In this project new electrodes with relevant low cost, sustainable and more abundant elements will be developed, as such this project links into the cutting-edge research on sustainable materials for Post-LIB technologies.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Modelling the Fabrication Process of Organic Solar Cells
Organic solar cells belong to the emerging photovoltaic technologies that can contribute to the energy transition in the near future. They have been greatly improved in the past few years, reaching outstanding 18% conversion efficiency. Compared to silicon devices, these solution-processed solar cells are low cost and eco-friendly, and allow new kind of application thanks to their flexibility and partial transparency. Nevertheless, the efficiency and life time of these solar cells have still to be improved. Aside from material development, the fabrication process is known to play a crucial role in their performance: during drying of the light-absorbing layer, a complex nanostructure forms that determines the layer properties. However, the understanding of the process-structure relationship has to be improved. A recently developed simulation framework enables the investigation of the film structuration during the fabrication process. The focus of the doctorate study is to gain physical insight into the formation of solution-processed bulk-heterojunction photoactive layers with the help of high-performance phase-field simulations, so as to gain control on the final film nanostructure.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Development of a separation process for ammonia from electrolysis processes
During your PhD work, you will contribute to scientific projects in the field of energy research. For the transformation of the energy system towards renewable sources, a significant number of new fuels and energy storage systems is discussed. Ammonia is a promising candidate as a fuel as well as a hydrogen carrier. Liquid ammonia has an energy density twice as high as liquid hydrogen and can be transported more easily. Today, ammonia is synthesized in the Haber-Bosch process from nitrogen from air and hydrogen from fossil sources. To make the ammonia synthesis CO2-neutral, the University of Melbourne develops an electrolysis process to make ammonia from nitrogen, water and renewable electricity. The ammonia obtained in this process may still contain rests of nitrogen, water or side products.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Metaplasticity of redox-based memristive thin film devices
The PGI-7 is involved in a Marie-Curie training network “Materials for Neuromorphic Circuits” (MANIC) (https://etnmanic.eu/) that is aiming to synthesize materials that can function as networks of neurons and synapses by integrating conductivity, plasticity and self-organization. Within MANIC, the PGI-7 offers a PhD project that aims to engineer the synaptic plasticity of epitaxial and polycrystalline memristive oxide thin film devices from short-term plasticity to long-term potentiation. This so called metaplasticity inherent to biological systems will be employed to implement different types of learning algorithms. The plasticity will be modified by the interplay of thin film processing conditions (defects, interfaces) and the sequence of electrical stimuli. The project should clarify the interplay between pristine microstructure, filament formation, dynamics of oxygen vacancy movement and synaptic plasticity. The memristive devices will finally be co-integrated into a neuromorphic CMOS chip designed at Bielefeld University.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position – Electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction under ambient conditions is an attractive technology to produce ammonia – a key component in fertilizers and a promising energy carrier. Compared with the traditional Haber-Bosch process, electrochemical nitrogen reduction is a less energy-intensive process and sustainable because renewable electricity can be used directly. Due to this technology`s potential, further developments are currently under strong investigation. Many studies focus on the exploration of new catalyst materials. Although ammonia is often detected as a product, it has also been shown that this does not always originate from actual N2-reduction, but from NOx reduction or other experimentally induced impurities. Therefore, careful analytical detection of the reaction educts and products is the basis of new catalysis research. In this project, we want to construct a high-end electrochemical setup with all necessary purity and analytical measures to ensure the detection of “true” electrochemical N2-reduction before investigating suitable electrocatalysts.

The IBG-3 conducts research to improve our understanding of hydrological and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial systems. Our research contributes to the sustainable and resource-conserving use of soils and water. In the IBG-3, advanced modelling and inversion algorithms are developed and applied for a wide range of hydrogeophysical studies using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems. To meet the challenges of an increasing population in a changing climate, it is highly important to develop innovative and sustainable management strategies for agricultural cropping systems. Such management strategies concern the organization of the soil-root system as well as the availability of water and nutrients. It is therefore crucial to develop methods that allow for a quantification of roots, water, and nutrients in the soil with high spatial and temporal resolution. Geophysical methods such as GPR are often used to investigate the soil-plant system to link physical soil properties to relevant hydrological and biochemical properties and processes of the soil-plant-atmosphere system.
