Stellenbosch, South Africa Stellenbosch University Full time

**Project title**: Green hydrogen through light splitting of water

**Location**: Stellenbosch University

The renewable and sustainable production of hydrogen is seen as a route toward long-term provision of sustainable energy. Direct utilisation of sunlight to produce hydrogen from water through photocatalysis is a promising pathway, and the development of efficient and durable catalysts is key in making this technology viable. This project will centre on developing and evaluating new photocatalysts and will be a collaboration between the disciplines of Chemical Engineering, Material Science and Physics, and may also include collaboration with other Universities in Africa.

The position is for full-time, on campus study at Stellenbosch University and is fully funded. The project is affiliated with the ARUA Centre of Excellence in Energy, and forms part of the wider efforts in making hydrogen technology technically and financially viable within the South African energy landscape. Stellenbosch University is one of the leading research institutions on the African continent and is known for its academic excellence and rich on-campus student experience. If you are independent, curiosity driven, innovative, and willing to work in a multidisciplinary environment, then this exciting position could be yours
