Postdoc in solid-state batteries - Electrochemical and chemical characterization

Job description

Next leap in the battery development is expected to be the lithium solid-state batteries (SSB), allowing the replacement of the flammable organic electrolyte in Li-ion batteries with a safer and a more compact solid electrolyte. Within the framework of the Swedish governmental battery initiative COMPEL, aimed to support competence and excellence in battery research and education for the transport sector, KTH join forces with a coordinated initiative on composite SSB with seven postdoctoral positions in several disciplines, focusing on various aspects along the battery value chain, ranging from synthesis, cell assembly, characterization, modeling to scaled-up manufacturing. The 2-year postdoc project Electrochemical properties of solid-state batteries and analysis of interactions between its different components will be shared between Depts Chemical Engineering (Div Applied Electrochemistry) and Chemistry (Div. Applied Physical Chemistry). The proj...
