3 weeks ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time
About the Job

Are you a skilled researcher looking to contribute to the development of next-generation solid-state batteries? We are seeking a talented PhD scholar to join our team at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) and work on fabricating a solid electrolyte for all-solid-state Li and Na metal batteries.

About the Project

The aim of this project is to create a solid electrolyte with an ionic conductivity exceeding the intrinsic value of the corresponding oxide electrolyte material. This will be achieved by inducing arrays of dislocations in oxide ceramics through high-temperature forging.

About the Team

We are a collaborative team consisting of researchers from DTU Energy, DTU nano, and DTU physics. Our goal is to develop innovative solutions for safer and efficient electrochemical energy storage.

About the Role

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student who will investigate the effect of dislocation density on the ion conductivity of the electrolyte. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment, including in-situ x-ray tomography and transmission electron microscopy.

About the Responsibilities
  • Investigate the effect of dislocation density on the ion conductivity of the electrolyte
  • Conduct experiments using in-situ x-ray tomography and transmission electron microscopy
  • Collaborate with the research team to achieve project goals
About the Qualifications
  • A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree
  • Strong experimental experience in electrochemical energy storage and solid-state chemistry
  • Experience in all-solid-state battery systems, field-assisted sintering technology, and impedance spectroscopy
About the Salary and Benefits

The salary for this position is approximately $60,000 per year, based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. In addition to the salary, we offer a range of benefits, including health insurance and access to our state-of-the-art facilities.
