The aim is to develop sustainable and cost-effective batteries and fuel cells with improved energy and power density, longer lifetime, and maximal safety. Find out more about our mission and future-oriented projects here: https://go.fzj.de/iet-1.
Your Tasks:
- Development of a physical solid-state cathode model and simulation of cathode performance
- Mathematical optimization of the model parameters using laboratory measurements
- Preparation and assembly of battery test cells under inert conditions in a glove box
- Conducting electrochemical measurements, including galvanostatic measurements, GITT, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
- Analyzing and evaluating experimental data using Matlab
- Determining the OCV from the measured data
- Measuring geometric electrode parameters such as thickness, particle radius, and porosity
- Discussing the results, documenting the results, and summarizing the findings in a final report
