Master Thesis tailoring Quasi-solid-state

vor 2 Monaten


Wien, Österreich Austrian Institute of Technology Vollzeit

As Austria's largest research and technology organization for applied research, the **Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT)** aims to make significant contributions to addressing the major challenges of our time, such as climate change and digitalization.

The **Center for Transport Technologies** offers a **master’s thesis** opportunity within the **Competence Unit for Battery Technologies **(located in** Vienna)**, specifically in the **research area of** **solid-state batteries**. This field focuses on a highly promising technology. Unlike conventional batteries, solid-state batteries do not contain flammable liquid electrolytes, making them safer and more durable. Advanced manufacturing methods for solid-state batteries are currently being developed in AIT's new solid-state battery lab.

This master’s thesis is part of the **M-ERA.net 2023 Project 3Interfaces**, funded by the FFG, and centers around optimizing interfaces in quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries. As society demands safer and more efficient energy storage solutions to replace gasoline, lithium metal emerges as a promising material for **next-generation batteries**, offering about 30% higher energy density compared to current lithium-ion batteries. However, its instability with liquid electrolytes poses safety risks, making it necessary to develop new solid or quasi-solid electrolytes that ensure stable, highly conductive interfaces and prevent lithium loss, thereby improving battery performance and lifespan.

MASTER THESIS "TAILORING QUASI-SOLID-STATE ELECTROLYTES FOR ENHANCED ELECTROCHEMISTRY IN LI-METAL BATTERIES"

CENTER FOR TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIES
- You will conduct a literature review and explore the state of the art in quasi-solid-state electrolytes and ionic liquids for lithium metal batteries.
- You will fabricate a series of quasi-solid-state electrolytes and characterize their key physicochemical and electrochemical properties.
- You will collaborate with your interdisciplinary team to develop an evaluation concept and support the establishment of a baseline for quasi-solid-state electrolytes to aid in prototype battery development.
- You will discuss your results with your team and supervisor - Like this you will learn how to analyze and evaluate results.
- Your will prepare and present your findings as a scientific work, which will form the basis of your master’s thesis, which can be submitted to your university after approval from your academic supervisor.

**Your qualifications as an Ingenious Partner**:

- An ongoing master’s degree in chemistry, electrochemistry, or materials science
- Strong knowledge in chemistry, electrochemistry, materials science, or related fields
- Interest in designing scientific studies
- High commitment and teamwork skills
- Excellent command of English both written and spoken; German language skills are an advantage

**What to expect**:

- **Duration of the master’s thesis**: 6 months
- **Start date**: beginning of May 2025, with some flexibility regarding the start date. EUR 1.200,
- gross per month for 20 hours/week based on the collective agreement.
- In addition to our **company benefits**, you will have the opportunity to **join **organised **events at AIT**, exchange ideas with colleagues from various research fields, and **build your professional network**.
- **CV, cover letter** (please include this reference no. **3INT-M02** in your letter of motivation)
- **Transcript of records**:

- **Proof of registration at a Master’s Studies Programme **at the university / university of applied sciences
- **Contact information of your intended academic **master’s thesis **supervisor **in previous agreement
