Research Associate in Electrochemistry/Electrocatalysis

The Prosperity Partnership began in 2021, with its aim being to develop a platform of new sustainable catalyst technologies that will enable clean growth and a low carbon future. The initial phase of this wide collaborative project explored several catalytic approaches to CO2 activation (including homogeneous, heterogeneous, biocatalysis, electrocatalysis and plasma catalysis), whilst employing a range of computational and characterisation techniques to develop a fundamental understanding of catalytic mechanisms for the conversion of small bio-based molecules and CO2 into value added chemical and fuels.

Following a recent stage-gate review, the Management team of the Prosperity Partnership have focussed on a smaller number of routes to CO2 activation, one of these being electrocatalytic activation. The goal of the second phase of the electrocatalytic component of the project is to use the lessons learnt in phase 1 of the project, specifically taking the electrocatalysts to the next stage of development.
