Master Thesis/internship On The Microstructure and

Duesseldorf, Deutschland Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH Vollzeit

Technologies for energy storage are essential for our sustainable development. All solid-state batteries enable electrochemical energy storage at higher density and security. Continuous development of solid-state electrolytes aims at increasing their ionic conductivity and understanding their failure mechanisms. Both aspects can be governed by the microstructure of solid-state electrolytes, in particular their grain boundaries.

During the master thesis and/or internship, the microstructure of Li/Na ionic conductors will be characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), after metallographic preparation. Then, the transport properties across individual grain boundaries will be investigated on samples prepared using focused ion beam (FIB). The relationship between the microstructure and properties of solid-state electrolyte samples will be drawn.

**What we expect**:
1. Excellent performance in a master program from a European university in materials science, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, or related fields.
2. Sufficient skills to communicate and write in scientific English.
3. Hands-on experience with aforementioned experimental techniques will be favorably considered (not required).

**What we offer**:
1. World-leading research community at MPI for sustainable materials to help you grow as a scientist.
2. State-of-the-art research facilities to foster your experimental expertise.
3. Opportunities to advance your research career.
