Carbon Dioxide

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 into energy-rich carbon-based products is a promising strategy to replace fossil-derived chemicals and advance a sustainable carbon economy. Among available catalysts, copper uniquely enables the reduction of CO2 beyond CO to more reduced products; however, it suffers from limited stability, selectivity, and activity. In particular, selectively converting CO2 into methane through electrochemical processes remains a major scientific and technological challenge.

The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) and the Yale Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences (EPS) invite applicants for a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher position to begin January 31, 2026, or no later than July 1, 2026.

RenewCO₂ is re-inventing chemical production using CO₂ emissions with a low-cost, high energy-efficiency, and carbon-negative electrochemical process. Our eCUT technology converts CO₂ into cost-competitive raw materials for plastics. We enable companies to meet emission reduction targets while producing sustainable materials at a profit.

The Biddinger Group at The City College of New York (CCNY) has a postdoc position for experimental research in electrochemical cycling of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) and CO2 electroreduction. The LOHC studies will involve investigation of electrocatalysis, reaction parameter influences and mechanism and kinetics. The CO2 electroreduction work will involve reaction durability investigations. Both projects will require characterization of catalysts and product analyses. These projects involve collaborations with both academic and industry partners.
