Researcher in Photoelectrochemical Processes in Metal-Organic Frameworks Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our mission is to pursue top-quality research and education and to interact constructively with society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has 46.000 students, 7.300 employees and a turnover of SEK 7.3 billion. The Department of Chemistry - Ångström conducts research and education in the chemistry field. The department has more than 250 employees and has a turnover just over 250 million SEK. At the department's seven programs, we conduct very successful research of a high international standard. We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international cooperation and we see continued good growth in our subject area. The department has education assignments in engineering and civil engineering programs and master's programs. More information is available on our website. Subject description: The goal of the project is to produce metal organic framework (MOF) thin films on semiconductor surfaces, and to investigate the ability of the MOF to extract minority carriers from the semiconductor under illumination. Such semiconductor-MOF hybrid materials are generally poorly understood, and motivate fundamental studies on light-induced charge separation and transport. In addition, MOF thin films will be developed that catalyze specific reactions of energy relevance, for example CO2 reduction or water oxidation, photoelectrochemically.
