About us
The DWI LeibnizInstitute for Interactive Materials is a federal and state funded research institute of the Leibniz Association based on the Melaten Campus of RWTH Aachen University. International young and experienced scientists from various disciplines develop interactive materials based on the principles of nature. It is a location at which people with different talents experiences and skills work together in order to learn from one another and generate new knowledge and new methods to create a better quality of life in our world.
DWI offers you a wide range of possibilities to develop further both professionally and personally in an interdisciplinary setting.

Your tasks
One project in Dr. Wangs research group is to study the plasma electrochemistry for controlled molecular transformations from small molecules to polymers. Electrical discharges in gases that operate near room temperature and at atmospheric pressure can be interfaced with aqueous solutions to serve as a gaseous metalfree electrode and mediate electrochemical reactions. In particular the injection of gasphase electrons into solution to generate solvated electrons one of the strongest chemical reducing species has been demonstrated and applied to the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and electroreduction of molecular nitrogen to ammonia. For the most part these plasmaliquid studies have been limited to water as the solvent. Expanding the solvent system to organics would open up new chemical applications such as small molecule transformations and controlled depolymerization/degradation of engineering polymers.
The task of this job is to explore possiblities of using plasma electrochemistry to realize molecular transformations that other techniques can hardly achieve. Success of the project will open up a new field in molecular transformations both in small molecules and polymers and potentially overcome worldwide challenges like CO2 reduction and polymer recycling and upcycling.
