Brief description
and objectives:
The candidate will participate in research activities for development of
photocatalytic devices for storage of solar energy in the form of chemical
bonds. In particular he will analyze the performance by ultra-sensitive GC
analyses of novel complex materials/crystal phases, electrically
connected through metallic interfaces. Characterization by (transient)
infrared and Raman spectroscopies is also part of the activities. Courses
possible to be followed include the NIOK courses of the graduate school
for solar to fuel catalysis, and various courses in the field of chemical
engineering provided by our university.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer near infinite possibilities of
structures and chemistries with an unparalleled opportunity to engineer
their functionality at a molecular level to target specific applications.
High-value applications would necessitate the ability not only to
synthesize, but also to form and position the MOFs at precise locations

preparation and incorporation of MOFs in a microfluidic device in the
form of adsorbent aerogels, separative membranes, and catalytic films
for CO2 adsorption, separation and catalytic conversion as part of an
overall strategy of active CO2 mitigation through their utilization and
valorization into useful products.
