The project "Fertilizer
from air and water: From theory to experiments" was recently awarded a Center
of Excellence Grant by the Icelandic Research Fund. The overall project
involves density functional theory calculations, catalyst synthesis,
electrochemical measurements and chemical analysis of products where a system
is being developed for an electrochemical formation of ammonia from atmospheric
nitrogen in an aqueous solution at ambient conditions. See references below.
The overall project consists of several students and post-docs working on
specific theoretical or experimental projects. Flow of information is required
between the groups. The candidate advertised for this position here will do
theoretical calculations and model the electro-catalysis.
