Research Fellow in Electrocatalytic Green Hydrogen from Seawater at NUS (Ho Ghim Wei Group)
Job Description
Prof. Ho Ghim Wei’s group at NUS is hiring a postdoctoral research fellow for a programme developing an integrated solar water electrolyser that produces green hydrogen and clean water from seawater. The fellow will research functional nanomaterials for electrocatalytic hydrogen production, build and run lab-scale reaction systems, and combine experiments with computational modelling, working with materials scientists, chemists and electronic engineers.

How to prepare for this application
- Seawater: think about chloride corrosion and selectivity against chlorine evolution.
- Electrolysers: show cells you built and tested, not only three-electrode data.
- Modelling: any DFT or data analysis is a plus.
