We, 'Catalysis for Energy Conversion (CatEC)' are a research group of heterogeneous (photo)catalysis at KAUST Catalysis Center (KCC).
Our research focuses on development of efficient catalysts for new energy conversion system for sustainable development. We not only develop novel catalysts but also understand kinetics and reaction mechanisms by examining rates of the reactions experimentally.
Takanabe's lab opens 2 PhD and 2 Postdoc Researcher positions for breakthrough researches.
Join us and enjoy science!
Our group emphasizes team-research, requiring you as a team player. Excellent communication skill in English is mandatory. Successful candidates will work with state-of-the-art instrumentation in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. Group members will have excellent opportunities for mastering new experimental techniques and for authoring high profile research publications. KAUST offers a highly competitive compensation and benefits package for all the accepted students and researchers.
Main research topics are as follows:
- Photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry for solar energy conversion
- Electrocatalysis for fuel cell and CO2 reduction
- Natural gas conversion and reforming to syngas
- Catalysis and system development for hydrogen energy carrier
The materials of interest include various metals/oxides to nitrides/carbides/sulfides. We are challenging to find solutions to the problems of global warming and future energy supply.
