Research Associate in Mechanosynthesis of Energy
7 months ago
You will be the main experimental contributor to the research project ‘Mechanosynthesis of energy materials: synthesis and characterisation of lithium cathodes’. Objectives are to:
1. Optimise the mechanosynthesis technique for materials fabrication, especially new lithium battery cathode materials; establish appropriate characterization techniques to determine the structure and composition of the milled products and propose strategies to reduce sample contamination.
2. Understand the chemical reactivity of the nanosized, disordered products of mechanosynthesis and establish parameters for wider utilization of the technique, especially for the synthesis of metastable phases at temperatures close to ambient.
3. Synthesise and characterise lithium battery cathode materials derived from Li2MnO3 and evaluate their potential usefulness as cathodes.
Applicants will have a PhD (or be close to completion) in materials science, engineering, physical science, or other relevant discipline.
