INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY INDORE
Dated: Jan 15, 2018 Advertisement for a Postdoctoral Position
Applications are invited from motivated and eligible candidates for a postdoctoral position in the research project
Lithium Dendrite Suppression in Li-based Batteries
Due to high theoretical capacity, lowest negative potential, and its prospective as next-generation energy storage devices (such as Li-S and Li-O2 batteries), lithium (Li) metal has received huge attention as a promising anode material, where Li metal electrode is crucial for the battery system. However, several issues associated with Li dendritic growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer results in poor electrochemical performances and associated safety complications such as short-circuiting. This project will be focused on finding ways to suppress or mitigate lithium dendrite formation. The research efforts includes but not limited to electrolyte/electrode interphase fabrication/modification, separator tailoring, solid state electrolyte, device fabrication, characterization and testing. This work will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Vilas G. Pol of Purdue University, IN, USA. https://engineering.purdue.edu/ViPER/pol.html
Eligibility: Ph.D. in Chemistry / Electrochemistry / Materials Science, -Engineering / Chemical Engineering / Physics. Please note that you should have defended your Ph.D. dissertation.
Stipend: Postdoctoral Fellow will be paid consolidated salary based on the following salary structure of the DST for Research Associate.
Category Emoluments per month Research Associate-I Rs. 36,000/- Research Associate-II Rs. 38,000/- Research Associate-III Rs. 40,000/-
The category will decided/recommended by the selection committee based on the qualification/Experience/Performance in the interview of the candidate.
Service conditions:
- DA: Postdoctoral Fellow will not be entitled to DA.
