IEK-9 Functional Materials and Components department is currently looking for Master Thesis candidates who possess the qualifications below for the earliest possible employment date.
The Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Fundamental Electrochemistry (IEK-9) focuses its research activities on the experimental investigation of electrochemical and kinetic properties of the charge transport and interfacial reactions of novel energy storage systems and converters. Metal–air batteries are promising and attractive energy storage systems for mobile and stationary applications due to their high specific energies compared to Li-ion batteries. To gain a better understanding of the effect of the structure of the anodes and type of electrolytes on the electrochemical activities and performance of metal–air batteries, preparation, design, and characterization of materials and components are essential.
Your Tasks:
- Preparation of anode materials (Pressing, alloying, grinding, polishing, etching etc.) and characterization of the microstructures by microscopy techniques
- Preparation of various types of electrolyte and characterization by spectroscopy techniques
- Battery assembly and fundamental testing
- Electrochemical investigations of the underlying battery processes and optimization of the metal-air battery performance
Your Profile:
- Ongoing master studies in Materials Science, Chemistry, or Physics
- Theoretical knowledge on electrochemistry and batteries
- Experience on electrochemistry and microscopy as well as lab work
- Fluent in English (German is advantageous) and good computer skills
