vor 2 Wochen
As **Austria's largest research and technology organisation** for applied research, we are dedicated to make substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society. As part of our The PhD position is announced as part of a Horizon Europe funded project and focuses on the development of **novel cathode active materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries based on metal oxide cathodes**. Hereby, you will deal intensively with topics related to**:synthesis**and** physicochemical characterization of metal oxide cathodes**, **advanced characterization** using ex-situ and in-situ/operando techniques, **electrode design and development** using environmentally safe water-based processing methods and last but not least with the **fabrication and electrochemical characterization of battery cells**. PHD THESIS "DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CATHODE MATERIALS FOR RECHARGEABLE MAGNESIUM BATTERIES" CENTER FOR TRANSPORT TECHNOLOGIES - You will **carry out a literature search** to get familiar with **(de)magnesiation mechanisms in manganese-rich metal oxides cathodes** and their electrochemical performance. - You will **synthesize cathode materials and investigate their magnesiation mechanisms** via in-situ and ex-situ techniques such as XRD, SEM, Raman, BET, XPS, etc. - You will **investigate the electrochemical performance properties of the cathode active materials** via galvanostatic cycling, galvanostatic titration, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry. - You will **discuss your results** within your interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, technicians and students and in project meetings. - You will write reports **and publish your findings in peer-reviewed journals.**: - You will participate **in national and international workshops and conferences**, where you will present your work. **Your qualifications as an Ingenious Partner**: - You have graduated (or you are close to completion) with a MSc Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or similar field. - Good knowledge in Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Science - Previous experience in synthesis of metal oxides is desired - Experience in the use of electrochemical characterization techniques for energy storage (use of Arbin, Maccor, Biologic or comparable systems) is considered an asset - Interested in the conception of scientific studies - High level of commitment and team spirit - Very good technical English (spoken and written) **What to expect**: - **Start date**:01.08.2025 - However there is some flexibility concerning the start-date - EUR 2.625,00 gross per month (14 times / year) for 30 hours/week based on the collective agreement. - In addition to additional company benefits. You will be part of our international AIT PhD community and participate in our **AIT PhD framework programme**. As a research institution, we are familiar with the supervision and execution of PhD theses, and we are looking forward to supporting you accordingly
