PhD Opportunity: Advancing Sustainable Li- and Na-ion Battery Systems
15 hours ago
About the Project
">The project focuses on reducing the environmental impact of batteries by developing fluorine-free electrolytes and optimizing hard carbon electrodes for Li-ion and Na-ion systems. This involves electrochemical testing of battery materials, (operando) photoelectron spectroscopy to study solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and stability, and evaluating hard carbon electrodes in Li- and Na-ion batteries using various electrolytes through electrochemical methods.
This project contributes directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals by replacing hazardous compounds and promoting clean energy and sustainable cities. It is part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), Sweden's largest-ever investment in materials science, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
">Job Description
">You will plan, execute, and disseminate your research in both large and small collaborative settings. You will work in a cross-disciplinary environment, with the flexibility to shape your research within the project's scope. Your role involves evaluating hard carbon electrodes in Li- and Na-ion batteries using various electrolytes through electrochemical methods, performing and analyzing surface and interface characterizations using photoelectron spectroscopy techniques, and contributing to teaching activities and other departmental duties.
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies, develop your own scientific concepts, and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing.
">About Us
">Chalmers University of Technology conducts research and education in technology and natural sciences at a high international level. We promote knowledge and technical solutions for a sustainable world through global commitment and entrepreneurship, fostering an innovative spirit in close collaboration with wider society.
">Benefits
">We offer a dynamic and inspiring working environment, excellent written and oral communication skills in English, and the possibility to teach up to 20% of your working time. As a PhD student at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy all employee benefits. We celebrate diversity and consider equality and inclusion as fundamental aspects of all our activities.
