Internship | Green Hydrogen production by anion exchange membrane water electrolysis - Eindhoven, Nederland - TNO
Beschrijving
About this position
The contribution of renewable energy sources to the total energy generation is steadily rising. One of the issues of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, is intermittency and therefore electricity price variation. At TNO, we focus on development of technologies for green hydrogen production through several water electrolysis technologies (anion, PEM, AEM) Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEM-WE) is the most promising technology for hydrogen production without utilizing scare materials as Pt, Ir, etc.
What will be your role?
In this internship green hydrogen production will be studied using anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEM-WE). The goal will be the optimization of AEM-WE cell components, focusing on the catalyst-coated electrodes and the influence of ionomers on ink formulations.
As for the experimental part, you will first develop a preparation method for the inks which will be used as catalyst for AEM-WE. Afterwards, you will prepare the full electrodesand test the hydrogen production rate under industrial relevant conditions. Under guidance of TNO, you will propose solutions to optimize the electrodes and their production process.
You will learn characterization and analytical techniques such as Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD), gas chromatography (GC) as well as electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry or chronoamperometry.
Minimum project duration is 6 months, starting as soon as possible. A more detailed plan will be drafted together with your academic supervisor. At TNO, you will work in the Materials Solutions Department in Eindhoven.
What we expect from you
What you'll get in return
You want to work on the precursor of your career; a work placement gives you an opportunity to take a good look at your prospective future employer. TNO goes a step further. It's not just looking that interests us; you and your knowledge are essential to our innovation. That's why we attach a great deal of value to your personal and professional development. You will, of course, be properly supervised during your work placement and be given the scope for you to get the best out of yourself. Naturally, we provide suitable work placement compensation.
