Postdoc in solid-state batteries - Modelling & synthesis of electrolytes

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 Atomistic modelling and synthesis of ceramic electrolytes for solid state batteries will be shared between Depts Material Science & Engineering ITM (Unit of Properties) and Chemistry (Div. Applied Physical Chemistry) CBH. The project aims to investigat...
