Topic: Preparation and study of catalysts for the production of green hydrogen by photoelectrolysis of water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annotation<\/strong>: The postdoctoral research will be focused on the synthesis of low-cost active and stable catalysts for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution. The aim is to improve the catalytic capabilities of mixed iron and copper oxides (CFO) by using appropriate preparation techniques. Accordingly, various strategies will be used to synthesize CFO-based samples, such as sputtering and surface treatment of the catalysts with various layers in order to improve the stability and activity of the catalyst. Selected methods of structural and morphological characterization will also be used to investigate the physical properties of the produced catalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
