Doctoral Researcher: Optimizing Hard Carbon Electrodes for Next-Gen Batteries
7 hours ago
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.
">Benefits and Salary
">We offer a dynamic and inspiring working environment, a starting salary of 34,550 SEK per month, 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, including Swedish courses to help you settle in. We also celebrate diversity and consider equality and inclusion as fundamental aspects of all our activities.
