**Description du sujet**:
**Context and goal**
In the framework of the joint project TiNTHyN involving universities and research centers in
of bimetallic hollow nanostructures supported on optimized carbon supports, in order to obtain
efficient catalysts with high resistance to degradation upon use. This research is part of a
collaborative network of 12 PhD theses on hydrogen technologies involving 4 universities and 3
research centers. The recruited PhD student will thus be involved in research and training activities
within a cohort of 12 fellow PhD students.

**Role of the PhD student**
The main role of the hired researcher will be to refine an existing synthesis process of catalyst
synthesis to (i) adapt it to up-to-date corrosion-resistant carbon supports and (ii) simplify it at best
while keeping outstanding electrochemical performances. To that aim, the rationalization of the
manufacturing process will be studied with the strong support of the UCLouvain laboratory, aiming
at unveiling the key factors that can be streamlined and correlating those to performance. Catalyst
synthesis and physico-chemical characterization will be performed both at ULiège and UCLouvain.
Finally, the electrochemical characterization, from fundamental techniques (on rotating disk
electrode) to the manufacturing of Membrane-Electrodes Assemblies and testing in real fuel cell
configuration will be performed at ULiège. The student will be enrolled in a joint PhD program
between ULiège and UCLouvain with the aim of completing a thesis within 4 years.

performed jointly between ULiège and UCLouvain. The work will mainly take place in
ULiège, at the University (Department of Chemical Engineering - Nanomaterials, Catalysis,
Electrochemistry laboratory), with frequent visits to the MOST (Molecular Chemistry,
Materials and Catalysis) laboratory at UCLouvain.
