PhD position on all-solid-state Li-ion batteries in Zürich

100%, Zurich, fixed-term

A PhD position is available in the Functional Inorganic Material Group (KovalenkoLab).

The research activities involve the synthesis and sintering of solid-state Li-ion conducting materials, the in-depth characterization of their chemical and electrochemical compatibility with metallic lithium, and the development of a new generation of all-solid-state Li-ion batteries.

Candidates should have recently obtained a master degree in chemistry, physics, or engineering with outstanding grades. Candidates should have a strong experimental background in electrochemical energy storage and have excellent knowledge of solid-state chemistry. An experience in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries will be beneficial.
