Post Doc Position: Materials & Batteries – Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco
Job description – Post Doc Position: Materials & Batteries – Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco
Description of Research Project – Post Doc Position: Materials & Batteries – Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco
Today the rechargeable battery with the highest energy density is the Li-ion or Li-polymer battery. Commercially this battery is used for mobile phones, laptops and camcorders.
The development of new batteries of this type has to go towards larger batteries for hybrid vehicles or towards further miniaturization for smaller electronic devices where “battery on a chip” is one solution.
Both these routes will, however, require basic materials research within chemistry and physics; new materials must be synthesized (some materials used today are too expensive for up-scaling) and the complex chemistry occurring both in bulk electrode materials and at the interface between electrolyte and electrode most be better understood.

Phosphate-based materials are attracting the attention of the scientists and the battery companies according to their high structural stability that considerably enhance the safety of the Li-ion batteries that is considered as the main challenges for this energy storage technology in the future.
The understanding of the energy storage performance of these phosphates requires a deep analysis of their structural/electronic evolution upon electrochemical cycling.
