Role
You will work on anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis,
from catalyst and electrode development through to cell and stack testing. AEM electrolyzers pair the low-cost, platinum-group-metal (PGM)-free catalysts used in alkaline electrolysis with the thin polymer membrane and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) design of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis. Your work will focus on making these MEAs perform better and last longer. You will work with our engineers and scientists on hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction (HER, OER) catalysts, membranes and ionomers, electrode fabrication, MEA assembly and electrochemical testing. The role gives a fresh graduate hands-on training across the full AEM development cycle.
Responsibilities
• Synthesize and characterize PGM-free HER and OER for AEM electrodes.
• Formulate catalyst inks, tune ionomer content, and fabricate electrodes by spray coating, electrodeposition and related methods, as both catalyst-coated substrates (CCS) and catalyst-coated
