Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.
The Materials and Device Engineering group at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) is looking for a highly motivated PhD student for an interdisciplinary research project across the fields of energy materials, electrochemistry and materials physics.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered a strategic candidate to achieve both significantly higher energy storage and better sustainability than current Lithium-ion batteries. They operate by converting sulfur into lithium sulfide and back on discharge/charge. Practically achieved energies are far from theoretical values due to difficulties to deposit the insulating active material in high areal and volume density in the porous carbon cathode and to fully use it electrochemically. Up to now, the exact relation between the nanoscale structural evolution of active materials, underlying physical-chemical mechanisms and electrochemical properties is unknown. The project aims to identify structure-transport-property relationships by focusing on operando scattering methods and electron microscopy.
Outstanding candidates are invited to submit their applications with a detailed CV, a brief motivation letter (short description of background and research interests), relevant transcripts of records and the contact information of at least one reference through our online application portal.
