This post-doctorate position is a part of the ArgyL Carnot project which aims at developping better solid électrolytes for Li batteries. The main goal is to stabilize the Li/electrolyte interface in order to increase the lifetime of these systems that promise better Energy Density than the actual ones.
This project relies on the complementarity between the experimental approach based on the synthesis and on Advanced characterization and the computational simulations.
The post-doctorate will be based at the Materials laboratory where he will be in charge of synthesizing the new electrolyte compositions. He will also take part in the development of a new operando XPS analysis technique on our Nanocharaterization platform. This technique will allow him to probe in real time the interface between Li and electrolyte during cycling.
Finally, he will also interact with the LMPS simulation team who will use the data to feed their ab initio model.
