Offer Description

The research activity will focus on the development, synthesis, and characterization of advanced materials for CO₂ capture and conversion. The work will involve the design and preparation of innovative materials, including adsorbents, catalysts, and multifunctional materials, with tailored physicochemical properties for the selective interaction with CO₂ and its subsequent conversion into higher-value products. The materials will be characterized using spectroscopic, microscopic, telectrochemical, and surface analysis techniques, as well as evaluated through adsorption and catalytic activity tests. The research will also include the investigation of structure–property–performance relationships, with the aim of identifying strategies to improve the efficiency, selectivity, stability, and regenerability of the developed materials.

The evaluation criteria are established in the call; a master's degree obtained no more than six years ago is required; knowledge of Italian and English is required.
