Introduction
Are you passionate about contributing to cutting-edge solutions for climate change? Join us at IMVT and IBCS, where we're pioneering Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology-a revolutionary approach to mitigating global warming by capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. This technology is at the forefront of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and your work could be a key part of this critical mission.
Our project focuses on developing and refining the Electro-Swing Adsorption method, a technique designed to enhance the efficiency of CO2 capture. As part of this exciting project, you'll be involved in the fabrication of the electrodes using spraying coating technology and test of their electrochemical performance in our self-designed test rig.

To achieve this, we're looking for creative and motivated students with passion for negative emission technology and additional interest in electrochemistry and macromolecular chemistry. Your contribution will be vital in creating electrodes with perfectly homogeneous surfaces, ensuring optimal performance in our DAC system.

What You'll Do:
- Innovate: Develop a high-quality, suspensive ink for spray coating.
- Create: Fabricate state-of-the-art electrodes using spray coating technology.
- Experiment: Conduct electrochemical measurements (e.g., CV, EIS) to assess electrode performance.

Who We're Looking For:
- Students in material science, chemical engineering, or related fields.
- Individuals with a basic understanding of polymer chemistry and electrochemistry-though a passion for learning and innovation is just as important!

Why Join Us?
- Impact: Be part of a project that tackles one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
- Innovation: Work with advanced materials and cutting-edge technology in a dynamic research environment.
- Experience: Gain hands-on experience that will set you apart in your future career.
