Full Job Description

The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division seeks a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct research focused on the development of long-life, high-density cathode materials for electrochemical energy storage systems under the guidance of a supervising scientist.

The successful candidate will play a leading role in the synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of advanced layered oxide cathode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. This work will include the use of advanced synthesis methods, electrochemical testing, and state-of-the-art characterization techniques to understand material behavior and improve next-generation energy storage technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and synthesize layered oxide precursor materials using a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), with control over morphology, particle size, and composition

Conduct physical, chemical, thermal, and electrochemical characterization of layered oxide cathode materials using a range of analytical techniques

Establish relationships between the physical and chemical properties of layered oxide cathodes and their electrochemical performance in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery systems

Perform advanced characterization using synchrotron-based X-ray techniques to investigate material behavior and interfacial chemistry during synthesis and battery operation

Develop mechanistic understanding of cathode operation and degradation, and identify pathways to improve the performance and safety of advanced electrochemical cells

Analyze and interpret experimental data and communicate findings through:

manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals

presentations at scientific conferences

internal reports

and group meeting presentations

Position Requirements

Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or equivalent

Required hands-on experience with co-precipitation synthesis using a CSTR reactor for the production of layered oxide precursors and cathode materials

Strong background in electrochemistry, including experience performing and interpreting:

galvanostatic testing of half-cells and full cells

electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)

and cyclic voltammetry

Familiarity with synchrotron-based X-ray characterization techniques, including diffraction and spectroscopy, particularly for in situ studies of materials and interfacial chemistry under synthesis conditions and during high-temperature, high-voltage, or high-rate operation

Significant experience in evaluating the thermal stability and safety of cathode materials and battery systems using techniques such as:

thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

TGA-mass spectrometry (TGA-MS)

and related methods

Broad understanding of materials science concepts relevant to electrochemical systems, including oxides, composites, and electrochemical interfaces, with the ability to apply insights from related research areas to solve battery materials challenges

Demonstrated ability to process, analyze, and interpret experimental results effectively

Strong oral and written communication skills, along with a solid publication record and evidence of growing recognition in relevant research areas

Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
