PhD: Lithium Electrodeposition and Interfacial Anode Pre-Lithiation for Next-Generation Batteries

JOB DESCRIPTION:

CIC energiGUNE is recruiting a predoctoral researcher to carry out a project on lithium electrodeposition, focused on mechanistic understanding, scalable thin, high-purity Li metal foil fabrication, and controlled interfacial anode lithiation.

Main job functions:

• Design and optimize lithium electrodeposition processes for battery applications.


• Develop safer and scalable routes for Li metal production and prelithiation strategies.


• Assemble and test electrochemical cells to assess efficiency, stability, and performance.


• Characterize deposited lithium and interfaces using advanced techniques.


• Analyze data to establish links between process, structure, and performance.


• Contribute to publications, reports, and scientific dissemination activities.

Area: Electrochemical Enery Storage and Conversion (EESC)
