Open Positions
Supercritical is looking for a senior electrochemist that will enhance our R&D team and move us towards our goals of scaling our cells and modules through advancing our core understanding of the electrochemistry at our novel operating conditions.
You will join an exciting and fast moving company that is intent on disrupting the energy industry and enabling a net zero future.
- Characterise a wide range of metal electrodes for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions.
- Investigate methods to increase the performance and durability of electrodes.
- Investigate deposition methods of catalyst nanoparticles onto the electrode surface.
- Investigate corrosion tolerance of materials and develop corrosion-resistant coatings.
- Assist the CTO with design and fabrication of electrolyser cells and modules.
- Be responsible for designing experiments, pioneering new test protocols and standardising operating procedures.
- Procurement and management of reagents and electrochemical equipment/consumables.
- Reporting outputs of research to the CTO.
Ideally, you will:
- Be passionate about a net zero environment, excited by innovation and proactive in your pursuit of it.
- Have a PhD or significant industrial experience in electrochemistry or a related field.
- Have a strong material science background, ideally specialised with metal alloys and multi-metal oxides.
- Experience of performing cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Competent at analysing and disseminating results to non-electrochemists.
- Perform EIS data analysis and equivalent circuit fittings and distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis , draw conclusions from experimental results and present them comfortably.
- Have experience with surface area analysis techniques.
- Demonstrate strong problem solving skills.
- Have outstanding communication skills, both written and speaking.
- Be proactive and self-motivated, taking initiative to drive towards company goals.
Desirable
- Multiphysics/Electrochemical modelling experience
- Corrosion chemistry experience
- Experience of working with high pressure/high temperature systems
- Density functional theory (DFT) modelling of alloys
