Your Job:
In renewable energy supply, battery storage is of interest for the security of supply, especially for stationary, decentralized applications. The concept of iron-air batteries represents an attractive alternative to already commercially available battery technologies due to their inherently high energy density and low cost as well as simple and robust materials. The surface morphology and formation process of iron electrodes play a crucial role in their cycling stability during battery operation. To improve the battery performance, the development of stable and efficient iron electrodes is required, which can be fabricated via different manufacturing methods. Your tasks will include:
- Developing, fabricating, and optimizing electrodes using various manufacturing methods
- Conducting electrochemical experiments to investigate the performance of the electrodes using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic cycling with potential limitation (GCPL)
- Spectroscopic characterization of the electrodes using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
- Documenting and visualizing the obtained results in the form of presentations
Your Profile:
- Ongoing Master studies in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, or a comparable field of study
- Interest in the research field of battery development
- Previous experience in electrochemistry is an advantage
- Laboratory experience is desirable
- A high degree of independence and initiative
- Good command of written and spoken English; knowledge of German is an advantage
Even if you do not fullfill the requirements of this position completely, we are happy to receive your application. We want you to fit in as a person, not just based on your profile.
Our Offer:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:
- Ideal conditions for practical experience alongside your studies
- Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
- Extensive company health management
- Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
- Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work
In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: https://go.fzj.de/benefits
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
