The project will explore the finest details of dynamics at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Step-scan time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy and time-resolved IR spectroscopy using broad-band laser pulses will monitor in real time changes in interfacial structure after a perturbation, delivering deeper understanding of correlations between interfacial dynamics and efficiency of charge transfer across, and accumulation at, interfaces. Our work will reshape the discipline, offering a film of the process instead of photographs of the initial and final states.
Selection will be made on the basis of academic merit. The successful candidate should have, or expect to obtain, a UK Honours degree at 2.1 or above (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science.
