You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where chemists, engineers and materials scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal. The Applied Energy Materials and Technologies Research unit is coordinated by Isabella Poli, who has extensive experience in applied energy materials and characterization. The research group focuses on the development of novel and functional materials and technologies for photo(electro)catalytic applications in water treatment and solar fuels generation. The assignment is based on IIT's need to implement research and experimentation activities related to photocatalytic systems within the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS) - MUR funded "pEroVskitEs foR photocataLYtic systems" (EVERLY) project. This project aims to develop efficient, stable and scalable photocatalysts for the generation of solar fuels.
