JOB DESCRIPTION
Green synthesis of metal nanoalloys confined in ordered porous carbons
A post-doctoral position in the field of material chemistry is opened at “Institut de Science des Matériaux de Mulhouse”-France (http://www.is2m.uha.fr), under the direction of Dr. Camelia Ghimbeu and Dr. Cathie Vix-Guterl. In the frame of the ANR project GENESYS “Green synthesis of nanoalloys confined into porous scaffolds” the aim of the present post-doc fellowship is to develop new simple and green synthesis routes for ordered porous carbon materials with embedded bimetallic nanoparticles. Different approaches will be used in order to optimize both the carbon and metal particle characteristics. Fundamental properties of nanoalloys will be undertaken and nanoscale effects on structure, morphology and surface chemistry of nanoalloys will be addressed as well as understanding of their intrinsic relationship. Systematically characterization on physical and chemical properties of hybrids together with their solid-gas (N2, CO2, H2) interactions will be investigated by experimental and simulation ways through a close collaboration with “Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris-Est” (Dr. C. Zlotea) and MIT-Boston (Dr. R. Pellenq).
Starting date: April 2015
Duration: 18 months
Application:
Applicants should send their CV including a list of publications/communications and eventually a recommendation letter to Dr. Camelia Ghimbeu via the "APPLY"button.
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
The post-doctoral researcher should have an important background on material synthesis and characterization. Knowledge on carbon materials and metal nanoparticles synthesis would be strongly appreciated. The candidate should have less than 3 years of post-doctoral accomplished. Good oral and written English expression is required as well.
