The article discusses the efforts in Delft, Netherlands, to develop technologies for affordable green hydrogen production. Green hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity, is considered a clean fuel and chemical. The European Union's goal of using 20 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 requires advancements in electrolyzer technology. The HyPRO project, part of the GroenvermogenNL growth fund, focuses on Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEM WE) to achieve energy efficiency and stability. Researchers are aiming to enhance the electrode-membrane interface to minimize energy losses and improve the reaction environment. The project involves collaboration with academia, industry, and 15 industrial partners to accelerate electrolyzer technology improvements. The PhD position offers a challenging role, embedding in an enthusiastic team, and a funded 4-year program. Requirements include a relevant MSc degree, experimental work experience, and a proactive mindset. TU Delft emphasizes equal opportunities and encourages women to apply. The university's commitment to diversity and innovation in science, engineering, and design is highlighted. The Faculty of Applied Sciences focuses on key technologies like quantum and nanotechnology, biotechnology, and materials for energy storage. Doctoral candidates receive a 4-year employment period and salary as per Dutch Universities' Collective Labour Agreement.
