Offer Description
Context
State-of-the-art electrochemical devices such as batteries and water electrolyzers rely on integrating the latest material developments to increase efficiency, reduce costs and/or improve long-term cyclability. An important aspect is the electrode/electrolyte interface where processes involving ion/electron transfer and reactant adsorption/desorption can lead to complex interface restructuring and irreversible degradation of the electrodes.
In the Conformal Coating of Nanomaterials (COCOON) research group at the Department of Solid State Sciences, Ghent University, Belgium (www.cocoon.ugent.be ), we focus on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to address electrode stability and reactivity challenges. The group is world-renown for the precise fabrication of thin films through ALD and possesses strong experience in structural and electrochemical characterization of materials on a component level. At COCOON, you will have access to state-of-the-art ALD infrastructure and extensive material analysis equipment. You will be embedded in a collaborative research team.
Job description
- You will develop ALD coatings for electrochemical applications, carry out structural characterization and perform electrochemical measurements.
- You will have the opportunity to supervise PhD students.
- We offer you a one year position which can be prolonged to maximum three years depending on performance.
