Job Description
The polymer electrolyte fuel cell is the most promising chemical energy converter for the electrification of heavyduty transportation. A current challenge is to select reliable and costeffective materials such that the polymer electrolyte fuel cell achieves the required energy density lifetime as well as performance. For this goal it is crucial to identify the gas transport mechanisms and better understand their physical dependencies. One of the components in the fuel cell is the gas diffusion layer whose gas transport resistance contributes significantly to the power losses. The aim of this work is to break down the behavior in more detail and to show their physical dependencies.
- For this purpose you will calibrate an existing measuring method for the determination of permeability the measuring accuracy of the method will be determined and selected materials will be tested.
- Furthermore you will investigate how these materials behave under mechanical load and changed temperature.
- For these tasks we are looking for a candidate for a master thesis from a natural science or engineering degree with a preference for experimental work with simulative support.
Qualifications :
- Education: studies in the field of Mechanical or Industrial Engineering or comparable
- Experience and Knowledge: in programming
- Personality and Working Practice: you are a reliable team player who can work effectively independently
- Languages: fluent in German and good in English
Additional Information :
Start: May 2025
Duration: 6 months
Requirement for this thesis is the enrollment at university. Please attach your CV transcript of records examination regulations and if indicated a valid work and residence permit.
Diversity and inclusion are not just trends for us but are firmly anchored in our corporate culture. Therefore we welcome all applications regardless of gender age disability religion ethnic origin or sexual identity.
