Job Opportunity

The Karlsruher Institut für Technologie is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Institute for Applied Material – Energy Storage Systems (IAM-ESS). As a postdoc, you will be part of the "Electrolytes and Electrochemical Methods" group, focusing on polymer-based solid-state electrolytes, electrolyte additives, and degradation mechanisms in electrolytes, particularly for post-Li battery technologies.

Project Overview

The project 'Characterisation and reduction of ageing processes on electrode materials in potassium-ion batteries' aims to investigate fundamental mechanistic questions on the dominant ageing phenomena on negative and positive electrodes in K-ion batteries. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Developing sustainable (e.g. fluorine-free) electrolyte and electrode compositions to improve battery life
  • Analysing electrochemical cell data of electrodes in both small-format coin cells and large-format pouch cells
  • Studying material ageing and degradation processes using bulk and surface-sensitive characterisation methods, including ex-situ and in-situ/operando X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy
  • Investigating the influence of material expansion during insertion/intercalation processes using dilatometry and electron scanning microscopy

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Diploma or master degree in chemistry, material science or physics
  • Extensive knowledge and several years of experience in the field of polymer characterization, impedance spectroscopy, Li- and post-Li batteries
  • Self-reliance, organisational skills, team-oriented working
  • Fluency in both written and oral English

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary category 13, depending on the fulfillment of professional and personal requirements.
