Master's thesis "Functional catalyst systems for the electrical splitting of ammonia"

Job description

We want an earth that is worth living on. Our applied research in Circular Economy, Carbon Management, Green Hydrogen and Local Energy Systems makes concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. As an institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we show how to not only master challenges, but grow with them. We push boundaries, think ahead and shape the future with applied research. Diverse perspectives and approaches strengthen creativity and innovation in our scientific work. Would you like to help us shape a sustainable world? We are looking for reinforcement! The department Heterogeneous Catalysis works on tasks related to catalyst development. For catalytic ammonia decomposition, cobalt catalysts for indirectly and directly electrically heated reactors have already been synthesized and tested in a corresponding test reactor. As part of your master's thesis, you will test further variants of these catalysts (other active metals and carrier materials). Be part of change: - Literature research on the topic of catalytic ammonia decomposition and alternative heating methods - Synthesis, characterization, and testing of heterogeneous cat...
