Fixed-Term Contract: Postdoctoral Researcher (M/F) in the Synthesis of Innovative Materials for Photocatalysis

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description At the Institute of Chemistry of Environments and Materials in Poitiers (IC2MP, UMR CNRS 7285), you will contribute to the development of photocatalysts based on carbon nitride derivatives for the sustainable production of solar hydrogen through water photolysis. Your primary responsibility will be to synthesize, characterize, and optimize microporous carbon nitrides obtained by replicating the porosity of zeolites, in collaboration with the SAMCat team and partners in the ANR ZENITH project. - Design, implement, and optimize a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for synthesizing carbon nitride derivatives within selected zeolites. - Develop the various synthesis steps and study the influence of the zeolites' structure, texture, and composition on the resulting materials. - Characterize the materials using X-ray diffraction (XRD), gas physisorption, electron microscopy, and solid-state IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy, as well as other appropriate complementary methods. - Analyze the relationships between structure, porosity, composition, defect density, and optical/optoelectronic properties, particularly visible light absorption and photo-induced charge separation. - Participate in evaluating the photocatalytic performance of materials for hydrogen production under solar irradiation, in collaboration with CEMHTI (CNRS Orléans). - Interpret results, propose optimization strategie
