These two Ph-D proposals are part of a challenging project consisting in making new glucose/O2 Biofuel cells. As the size of microelectronic circuits and of sensors shrinks, the size of the low-power sensor-transmitter package (of potential value in physiological research and in medicine) becomes increasingly dependent on the size of its power source. The miniature … [More Info]

PhD. position 1: In-situ characterization of electrodes using novel SPM methods In-situ, high temperature scanning probe microscope (SPM) measurements on solid oxide fuel cell electrodes is a new method with many perspectives for a more profound understanding of the details of the fuel cell processes, including identifying the obstacles for the ion transfer. The CAHT-SPM … [More Info]
