Postdoc in Solid-State Batteries – Scalable Production of Solid 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 Scalable Production of Ceramic Solid Electrolytes for Solid-State Batteries will be carried out jointly at the Div. Process technology and Resource Recovery at the Dept. Chemical Engineering. This project, grounded in chemical engineering, will focus o...
