Master Thesis Ionenselektive Membranen Chemie

Your Tasks In a collaborative project between JUMO GmbH and the Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis (ECRC), research is conducted on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) with a particular focus on ion-selective membranes. The objective is to design and develop functionalized membranes that exhibit high selectivity for specific ions in aqueous solutions. For characterization, the membranes are deposited onto precious metal substrates to enable electrochemical measurements and evaluate their sensing performance. In addition, structural and morphological properties are investigated using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and various microscopy methods.The project involves designing and performing experiments on both model and real systems, as well as analyzing the resulting data and developing robust data analysis workflows. The candidate will apply theoretical models and scientific knowledge to practical water analysis applications while maintaining close collaboration with research activities at FAU. Overall, the project offers a dynamic research environment that effectively bridges the gap between academic research and industrial application. For more detailed information contact .
