Job description
The Cluster of Excellence POLiS (DFG EXC_2154) develops the necessary new battery materials and technology concepts for efficient and sustainable storage of electrical energy.
This position is to be filled within the Cluster of Excellence POLiS and the overall goal of the related project is to develop a 3D printing process as manufacturing technology for post-lithium all-solid-state sodium ion batteries (ASSSIBs) and to evaluate, optimize these processes in battery performance. Exploring various techniques to improve battery-manufacturing processes is of great interest for the research community as well as for the industry, and 3D printing fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a very promising approach in the battery production process to introduce additive manufacturing technology.
The goal of the thesis is to gain understanding in printing material development and thermally post processing, to increase the thickness of the electrode layers without worsening the cell performance in production of sodium ion batteries followed by thermal characterization and safety analysis. This includes the complete process chain of preparing and characterizing of the printing materials, up to the electrochemical investigation of the electrochemical cells and the feasibility for upscaling. The know-how of material production as well as of 3D printing is already available in both institutes.
We offer you the opportunity to complete the promotion within three years. During this time, you will work in an interdisciplinary working group at IAM-AWP and IAM-WK. You will have access to the excellent research infrastructure and experimental facilities at KIT. The work will be conducted also in cooperation with the research group of Physical chemistry of solids – solid-state ionics and electrochemistry at Justus-Liebig university of Giessen. You will also be a member of the graduate school electrochemical energy storage (GS-EES).
Starting date
as soon as possible

Workshop Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy EIS
Goal
Aim of the lectures is to supply the researchers with knowledge about the physical principles and practical analysis of impedance spectra applied to electrochemical systems. The researchers will learn about the fundamentals of frequency response analysis and system identification theory, how to acquire impedance spectra with minimized artefacts, how to analyse impedance spectra and extract significant physical parameters. The researchers will also acquire knowledge on state-of-the-art impedance methods for analysis of non-linear and non-stationary systems.
Schedule
The workshop will be held online. It consists of two blocks.
Block 1: Lectures, 15.03.2021 - 17.03.2021
Block 2: Practical aspects of EIS analysis will be addressed by processing example spectra of lithium-ion batteries in home assignments. The results of these practical exercises will be discussed in a seminar (31.03.2021).
Participation in block 2 is optional.

XPS Workshop
Goal
The workshop mainly aims at researchers who (plan to) use XPS service in their studies.
You will learn about the fundamentals, the potential and the restrictions of the method.
The main goal of the workshop is to improve your skills in preparing your XPS measurements and in peak fitting / interpreting the measured spectra.
Schedule
The workshop will mainly be held online but you will also perform an XPS measurement in groups of two. These measurements can either be done at the IAM-ESS with Vanessa Trouillet for researchers from Karlsruhe or at the HIU with Thomas Diemant for researchers from Ulm. Individual appointments will be made for this with the groups.
Time & Date: Several sessions between 20.10.2020 and 04.11.2020 (see schedule in flyer)
Location: Mostly online, demo sessions (XPS measurements) at HIU or at IAM-ESS
Workshop instructors: Thomas Diemant and Vanessa Trouillet
Registration deadline: 27.09.2020
The number of participants is restricted to 12 in Karlsruhe and 12 in Ulm. First come, first served.
The workshop is open for GS-EES, CELEST and HIU members.
GS-EES members will gain 1 CP within „Scientific Training”
