DOCTORAL STUDENT (F/M/D)
PLASMA-ASSISTED CO2-TO-MeOH CONVERSION

Fixed term contract for 3 years / Part-time appointment (27 hours/week) / Target salary: TV-L/E13

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
The urgent need to stop global warming caused by CO2 requires a paradigm shift from fossil to sustainable energy carriers and processes. Nonthermal plasma (NTP) can activate stable molecules such as CO2 at ambient pressure and low temperatures. A dedicated reactor system containing a plasma source in combination with a catalyst bed will be developed.
In this way, the greenhouse gas CO2 is reduced and added to a chemical value chain. The aim is to develop a more efficient method for the conversion of CO2 into methanol.

- Investigate plasma-assisted methanol formation from CO2 and H2;
- Develop reliable experimental systems and procedures;
- Carry out chemical, electrical and optical diagnostics of the process;
- Derive and evaluate process parameters;
- Carry out documentation, communication and presentation of results.
