Job Details
The Electrochemical Processes Unit of IMDEA Energía is performing research and development of high-efficiency electrochemical energy storage devices, mainly for coupling them with renewable energy sources and for sustainable transport.
The Electrochemical Processes Unit of IMDEA Energía is opening a Postdoctoral Scientist Position associated to the ERC Consolidator Grant awarded to Dr. Rebeca Marcilla. This project, entitled Membrane-Free redox Flow Batteries (MFreeB), proposes to remove the problematic ion-exchange membrane of redox flow batteries by developing a disruptive, versatile and scalable battery concept that relies on the immiscibility of two redox electrolytes. Moreover, cheap, abundant and environmental-friendly organic molecules will replace the harmful vanadium active species. This open Postdoctoral Position will be dedicated to investigate the Organic Redox Electrolytes for Redox Flow Batteries.
Your Tasks:
- R&D on Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Energy Storage.
- Electrochemical Characterization of Organic Redox Electrolytes.
- R&D on Redox Flow Batteries: Design and Characterization.
- R&D on Liquid-Liquid Biphasic Systems: equilibrium and partition coefficients.
- Participation in national and international research projects in Electrochemical Energy Storage.
- Dissemination and publication of research results in scientific journals.
- Supervision of PhD, Master and undergraduate students.
Remuneration: Between 33,000-37,000 Euro per year, depending upon qualification and expertise.
Duration: The position is available immediately and is a one-year appointment with annual renewals depending on performance.
