The Functional Printing & Embedded Devices Unit develops innovative solutions based on functional materials and devices.
This Unit has the knowledge and experience to contribute from research concepts to prototyping and manufacturing. The Unit can cover the entire TRL chain, from the conceptualization of the idea to prototype validation, including design, proof of concept, material analysis, processes, prototyping, and characterization.
The specialization areas of the Unit include the formulation of functional inks, printing and coating processes for lightweight and flexible devices, their characterization, and in terms of electronics, the design, development, and manufacturing of conventional PCB electronics and hybrid electronics. The teams is looking for a researcher to support the Energy Devices line.
The candidate will carry out tasks within projects related to the development of printed devices, specifically membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells and electrolyzers applied to hydrogen production and utilization. In particular, the tasks include:
• Review of the state of the art.
• Design and prototyping of devices.
• Processing of membranes and catalysts, as well as material printing using screen printing and spray coating.
• Physicochemical characterization of materials (electrical, electrochemical, optical, and morphological characterization techniques, etc.).
• Assembly, simulation, and characterization of electrolyzer and/or fuel cell units
• Analysis and presentation of results, and preparation of technical reports
