Are you ready to make a change in the energy transition and have a positive impact on the climate? We envision a resilient electrified society, independent not only from fossil fuels, but also from critical mined materials.
We are developing a disruptive innovative solution: a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry. Our system is the simplest large-scale stationary energy storage you can imagine, usable by energy-intensive industries as well as energy utilities seeking cheap and sustainable energy storage solutions.
You will play a pivotal role in exploring new strategies for the membrane-less redox flow battery technology. Your role will be at the interface of electrochemistry, organic chemistry and mass transport processes.
About the Job
* Study transport processes and electrochemical reactions in electrolyte using fundamental and applied approaches.
* Design, optimize, and characterize biphasic supporting electrolyte formulations.
* Innovate polyelectrolyte and negolyte formulations. Synthesize and modify redox active species if needed.
* Manage R&D projects in collaboration with our fluid mechanics team.
* Design and execute experiments: cyclic voltammetry, voltage stability window, corrosion, electrochemical behavior on a cell level.
* Identify and troubleshoot performance-degrading mechanisms.
* Ensure processes reproducibility and maintain equipment.
About You
* You have a PhD degree in organic chemistry/chemistry/electrochemistry (or physics).
* You have a proven record of innovation related to energy conversion/storage devices.
* You have experience in experimental work in one or more of the following fields: organic chemistry, and electrochemistry - is a must; material science, and physical chemistry - is optional.
* You have proficiency in using potentiostat (preferable Biologic).
* You have practical knowledge of safety practices.
* You have strong organizational and interpersonal skills.
