Electrochemist

Job description

Electrochemist

TGRC has partnered with a fast-growing clean technology company developing next-generation materials that enable a more sustainable and resilient energy future.

The company is pioneering advanced materials that replace expensive and scarce elements with high-performance, earth-abundant alternatives. Their innovations are helping accelerate the global energy transition, with applications across clean energy, industrial manufacturing, and advanced electronics.

The Role

• Design, synthesize, and optimize non-precious metal nanomaterial catalysts, particularly non-PGM systems based on earth-abundant metals or metal alloys.
• Develop and execute wet-chemistry synthesis methods and solution-phase catalyst protocols.
• Design catalyst compositions and electrode architectures for use in advanced electrochemical devices.
• Conduct research and testing related to CO₂/CO reduction, chlor-alkali analogue reactions, or flow-battery redox couples.
• Perform electrochemical characterization using three-electrode systems, including catalyst kinetics analysis and mass-transport evaluation.
• Apply catalysts as coated layers on membranes, gas diffusion electrodes (GDE), and porous transport layers (PTL).
• Carry out benchmarking experiments in three-electrode and full-cell electrolysis or redox cell configurations.
• Assess catalyst durability through stress-testing and long-term stability assessments.
• Use kinetic modelling and diffusion analysis to interpret catalyst and electrode performance in flow or membrane electrochemical cells.
