Research Scientist - Polymer Electrolytes for Sodium Batteries

You'll be focused on developing and optimising polymer-based electrolytes to enhance sodium battery performance, stability, and safety, contributing to next-generation energy storage solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Polymer Electrolyte Development:

* Design, synthesise, and characterise polymer electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries.

* Optimise polymer composition and morphology to improve ionic conductivity, mechanical stability, and thermal properties.

2. Electrochemical Performance Testing:

* Conduct electrochemical analyses (e.g., impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry) to evaluate electrolyte performance.

* Test long-term stability, sodium ion transport, and interfacial compatibility with battery electrodes.

3. Material Characterisation:

* Use advanced techniques such as SEM, FTIR, NMR, and XPS to analyse and characterise polymer materials.

* Study electrolyte degradation mechanisms and develop strategies to enhance durability.

4. Collaboration and Reporting:

* Work closely with interdisciplinary teams, including chemists, engineers, and material scientists.

* Document findings, write reports, and present research progress in team meetings and conferences.

5. Scale-Up and Application Testing:

* Support the transition of lab-scale polymer electrolyte solutions to scalable prototypes for commercial application.

* Test polymer electrolytes in coin cells and pouch cells under relevant operational conditions.

Required Qualifications:

* Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on electrochemistry or polymers.

* Proven experience with sodium-ion batteries, polymer synthesis, and characterization techniques.

* Hands-on experience with electrochemical testing and knowledge of sodium battery technology.

Preferred Skills:

* Familiarity with solid-state or gel-polymer electrolytes.

* Knowledge of advanced materials design for energy storage.

* Strong analytical skills and experience with data analysis software.

Benefits:

This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge battery technology with a focus on sustainable energy solutions. We offer competitive compensation, professional development, and opportunities for growth in a collaborative and innovative work environment.
