About this position

This postdoctoral project explores how electrochemical control of catalyst interfaces can enhance liquid-phase thermocatalytic reactions for hydrogen storage and utilization. The research is part of the SNU/FZJ Energy Fellow Program, an international collaboration between Forschungszentrum Jülich and Seoul National University.

The researcher will work with the institute division Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage at Forschungszentrum Jülich, led by Professor Hans-Georg Steinrück, together with Professor Jaeyune Ryu at Seoul National University. The two-year international program combines research at both institutions, beginning with a year at FZJ and continuing with a year at SNU in Seoul, or following the reverse sequence.

The project focuses on electrified interfaces in thermocatalytic hydrogen-storage and utilization reactions, including liquid organic hydrogen carriers and formic acid. The researcher will design electrochemical systems and cells, test electrochemical promotion across different reaction conditions, and use electrochemical methods to probe interface properties. Advanced in situ and operando X-ray techniques will be applied to investigate electrochemical double-layer structures and clarify how electrical inputs can continuously tune catalyst activity and selectivity.

This research environment brings together catalysis, electrochemistry, energy science, materials characterization, and chemical engineering in an international setting spanning Germany and South Korea. The position is based initially at the Brainergy Park Jülich site and involves collaboration with researchers at both partner institutions.
