The aim of the call is to select a candidate for a postdoctoral (post-doc) assistant professor position within the SONATA BIS project entitled “Green energy controlled by spin - photo(electro)catalytic water splitting by chiral materials”, project agreement no. UMO-2024/54/E/ST4/00021, funded by the National Science Centre (NCN), Poland. In this project, we aim to investigate the influence of chiral nanomaterials on the efficiency and selectivity of photo(electro)catalytic water splitting, with particular emphasis on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) as the key rate-limiting step of the process. The research seeks to overcome fundamental barriers such as high overpotentials, low current density, and the formation of undesirable by-products leading to catalyst deactivation. The project exploits the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, according to which chiral materials can preferentially transport electrons with a specific spin orientation, which may significantly affect the kinetics and mechanisms of electrochemical reactions. The research will include the development and characterization of chiral photoabsorbers, catalysts, and modified electrode surfaces, as well as a comparison of different strategies for introducing chirality into catalytic systems. The goal is to identify structure–property–activity relationships and to determine the extent to which spin-dependent effects can be used to reduce overpotentials and improve reaction selectivity. The results obtained will provide new insights into CISS mechanisms in photo(electro)catalytic systems and may indicate new directions for the development of materials for sustainable hydrogen production using solar energy. The successful candidate will be responsible for:
• Synthesis and characterization of chiral materials for water splitting
• Design and execution of photo-(electro)catalytic experiments
• Independent literature research
• Active participation in the discussion and interpretation of results Additional duties will include assisting in the supervision of PhD candidates and/or Master’s students involved in the project. Participation in scientific conferences and the publication of several research articles are expected; therefore, the ability to prepare manuscripts and present results at conferences is required.

Skills/Qualifications
