The research of the Department of Conductive Polymers is focused on the synthesis of conducting polymers, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), and others, by chemical oxidation or electrochemical polymerization of the corresponding monomers. In addition, the applications of such conducting materials in the electrodes of supercapacitors, sensors or as intelligent adsorbents of pollutants in the environment are being investigated. The applicant will mainly deal with electrochemical polymerization and characterization of electroactive polymers and their composites by CV, EIS, charge-discharge and EQCM. Additionally, the applicant will characterize the prepared materials by photoelectrochemical techniques.

Further information about the research group and current projects is available at the web page of the department.

Requirements:

PhD in the field of electrochemistry, materials science or related fields
