Internship / Master Thesis – New Methods in Operando NMR for Electrolysis
At the Institute of Energy Technologies - Fundamental Electrochemistry (IET-1), we perform research on highly relevant topics related to the energy transition. For example, we investigate the battery of the future and new battery concepts. How we can turn the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into the fuel of the future or how electrolysis can contribute to a hydrogen energy economy are other exciting projects. The aim is to develop sustainable and cost-effective batteries and fuel cells with improved energy and power density, longer lifetime, and maximal safety.

Your Job:
At IET-1, we are developing exciting interdisciplinary methods to investigate the key mechanisms in electrolysis using pulsed NMR. Among other methods, we employ quantum optimal control, where simulated spin models are directly used to engineer NMR experiments. At the core of this project stands the Python library JuMPO (Jülich Magnetic Pulse Optimization) which has been developed at our institute. A particular challenge for operando electrolysis experiments in NMR is radiation damping, a phenomenon arising from bulk magnetization in the sample. To overcome this challenge, the project aims to implement methods that penalize bulk magnetization during the pulse optimization process. The resulting pulses are then to be tested on state-of-the-art spectrogram pulse analysis methods. Your tasks include:
