About this position
This postdoctoral position is part of the SinCare-H2 project, an ambitious consortium-based effort focused on advancing green and sustainable hydrogen technologies. The research aims to develop innovative catalytic systems for the storage and release of dihydrogen (H2) using methanol as a liquid hydrogen carrier.
The successful researcher will work on the design, synthesis, and chemical reactivity studies of second-generation catalysts capable of performing hydrogen storage and liberation without additives. A major scientific challenge of the project is to develop a single catalyst that can support both the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and the reversible dehydrogenation of methanol to CO2 and H2.
The position is hosted at the Laboratoire de chimie de coordination (LCC) in Toulouse, within Team L led by K. Philippot, under the scientific direction of Alain Igau. The project sits at the interface of organic chemistry, main group chemistry, coordination chemistry, and homogeneous catalysis, offering a strongly collaborative research environment linked to a wider consortium with expertise in experimentation, catalysis, and theory.
The posting highlights that the group has already demonstrated proof-of-concept for hydrogen storage and release, and that its first-generation complexes showed unprecedented catalytic properties and performance. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to extending these results toward more modular and advanced catalyst architectures for sustainable energy applications.
