Its research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods and and ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research area or group: Nanostructured Materials for Photovoltaic Energy Group
Description of Group/Project :
PV applications have the potential to expand even more by using built-in photovoltaics in the city architecture currently unexploited; e.g. façades, windows, bus stop roofs, or sunshades. The application of low[1]cost photovoltaics with moderate efficiencies in all these -now unused[1]areas would provide a substantial sun-harvested energy intake for powering the city. Nevertheless, the energy transition of large transport or heavy industry cannot be sustained by electricity, and thus requires high power density fuel alternatives such as hydrogen. Developing technologies for green H2 generation is thus another strategic priority to substitute the current H2 sources from methane or coal (which release CO2). Photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC-WS) is a promising technology to enable this target: a simple (low-cost) setup of semiconductor electrodes immersed in water using solely direct sunlight to generate O2 and H2. Practical applications of PEC-WS have been so far limited by the lack of available semiconductors that meet the four basic requirements: high photovoltage and photocurrents, good energy alignment with redox potentials and stability against corrosion. The development of semiconductors to improve PV and PEC-WS is now a matter of intense research. In this context, "CABIS-Sol" aims to develop a novel semiconductor material platform based on abundant non-toxic elements that can be tailored "on-demand" for PV and PEC-WS applications. To achieve that we will exploit the versatility of a particular metal halide system, the copper-silver-bismuth iodosulphates (CABIS) by designing new strategies for a controlled synthesis of tailored chemical composition to finely tune the material optoelectronic properties. This will be achieved by designing new solution-based synthesis approaches for fine control of the elemental composition and crystal structure to tune the bandgap and energy level positions. The CABIS stability will be improved by implementing intrinsic (chemical composition, molecular additives) and extrinsic (physical barrier or passivation by oxides) protection strategies. The main objectives are to demonstrate a record efficiency CABIS-based PV device and to demonstrate a proof[1]of concept efficient and stable CABIS electrode for PEC-WS
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
Requirements:
Experience in synthesis of materials and nanoparticles via solution processing methods.
Demonstrated labwork experience and experimental skills on photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical systems and devices, such as for water splitting.
Experience in the fabrication of solar cells is optional but will be positively evaluated.
Strong self-discipline to achieve reproducible results.
Ability to work safely in the lab environment.
We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, but also stimulate interaction and discussion with colleagues.
We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence, but also stimulate interaction and discussion with colleagues.
(optional) Knowledge of Python or other programming language will be positively evaluated.
Language: English (Advanced, written and spoken)
Knowledge of Spanish or Catalan would be beneficial but not necessary.
High level of motivation and availability to travel abroad to pursue international collaborations
Summary of conditions:
Estimated Incorporation date: as soon as possible
"The contract is funded by the project CABIS-Sol (CNS granted in the Proyectos CONSOLIDACIÓN INVESTIGADORA call of the Spanish Ministry of Science.
