MSc / BSc thesis opportunities

Type project: Both Experimental and Numerical
Availability: Available (from September '24)
Description: In this MSc thesis project, you will study pH tuning, using bipolar membranes (BPM) that create in-situ acid and base, as pre-treatment for stable water electrolysis. You will investigate the effectiveness of pH tuning and the energy consumption for different processes. The work will be focused on modelling in Aspen, complemented with experimental validation of the model.
Remarks: Preferably 42 ECTs MEP

Type project: Experimental

Description: In this MSc thesis project, you will develop anode catalyst regeneration by switching potential bias. You will investigate the change of electrochemical active surface area and the morphology of catalyst when feeding seawater to an electrolysis unit and after regeneration. The work will be focused on experiments, complemented with estimations from theory.
