Postdoctoral Fellow in Zero-Excess Lithium Anode Sulfide-Based All-Solid-State Batteries

Your Tasks

• Develop and optimize zero-excess (anode-free) lithium metal sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) for high-energy-density and safe applications.
• Design and investigate current collector and interface engineering strategies, including thin-film surface modifications and protective interlayers to improve lithium plating/stripping reversibility.
• Develop and optimize wet-slurry processing routes for the fabrication of sulfide-based composite cathodes and the manufacturing of multilayer pouch-cell ASSBs.
• Perform comprehensive electrochemical characterization, including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic cycling, EIS, critical current density, and Coulombic efficiency measurements.
• Publish research findings in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.
• Present results at international conferences and project meetings within the framework of collaborative industrial and academic research projects.

Your Profile

• PhD degree in Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.
• Proven hands-on experience with lithium metal and sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs).
• Strong expertise in the assembly, testing, and analysis of coin- and pouch-type ASSB cells.
• Experience with materials and electrochemical characterization techniques.
• Demonstrated scientific publication record in the field of batteries or energy-storage materials.
• Excellent communication skills and a strong command of spoken and written English.
