Today we are offering a PhD position to tackle the understanding of the catalytic layer formation in Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). The work will first focus on the formulation and the characterization of inks containing all the components (heterogeneous catalyst, ionomer, solvants). The coating on several substrates (polymer membrane, or on the gas diffusion layer) will be then studied. The study of the structuration during the drying is expected. Finally, the electrochemical performance of the MEA will be studied electrochemically at Symbio Research Center.
