Doctoral Researcher: Optimizing Hard Carbon Electrodes for Next-Gen Batteries

7 hours ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

About the Project Scope

">

The project aims to reduce 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.

Requirements

">

To be eligible for this position, you should have a Master's degree in Physics, Materials Science, or Chemistry, and knowledge of and/or experience in materials science and/or electrochemistry. Proven ability to report results concisely, both orally and in writing, is also required. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are essential, as well as the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.

Prior experience conducting independent experimental work, coursework in materials characterization and electrochemistry, and confidence and expertise in laboratory work are preferred qualifications.
