JOB DESCRIPTION:


CIC energiGUNE is recruiting PhD candidates to pursue a doctoral thesis focused on the study of buried electrode/electrolyte interphases in next-generation sodium-ion batteries.


Main job functions:


  • Design and execution of electrochemical experiments in sodium-based battery systems (coin cells, electrolyte formulations, cycling protocols)

  • Development and application of solid-state NMR methodologies (static and MAS) for the study of SEI and CEI formation and evolution

  • Implementation of in situ and operando NMR experiments under realistic electrochemical conditions

  • Analysis of electrolyte degradation products using liquid-state NMR

  • Correlation of spectroscopic results with electrochemical performance and degradation mechanisms

  • Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and use of complementary techniques (XPS, TEM, SEM, etc.)

  • Prep...
