Internship | Development of Polymer electrolyte for solid-state batteries in Eindhoven

Beschrijving

What will you be doing?

The thesis project aims to develop a polymer electrolyte and study its properties for Li metal batteries. Within the project, various promising polymer electrolyte will be screened and tested for their electrochemical properties. Activities will include battery coin cell making, galvanostatic cycling, and impedance measurements. The student will also be exposed to morphological and functional analysis techniques of the structures, which will involve measurements like SEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, FTIR, etc.

Your tasks and responsibilities include:

Literature research to benchmark the know-how present as state-of-art.

Perform experiments in laboratory and cleanroom including polymer synthesis and coating process

Coating analysis (SEM/EDX analysis, FTIR), Battery making and post-mortem analysis

Participate in group meetings, provide feedback, discuss results, and propose solutions to various challenging aspects

Write intermediate experimental reports and final report

What do we require of you?

You are an ambitious master student with both scientific and practical skills looking for an internship of 5-9 months. You have a background in chemistry, material science, or applied science. You are pro-active and independent, at the same time a good team player and ready to take up new challenges.
Good communication skills in English are expected.

What can you expect of your work situation?

Holst Centre is an independent R&D center that develops technologies for wireless autonomous sensor technologies and flexible electronics. Holst Centre is positioned between fundamental academic research and commercial product development. Typically, results obtained within Holst Centre aim for products that will appear on the market within three to ten years. Holst Centre defines its activities based on global societal trends and emerging markets and applications. The output of our research is generic technologies and knowledge that can be relevant for a variety of application domains, like OLEDs, OPVs, and also in advanced packaging. One of the new topics at TNO - Holst Centre is the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries based on innovative 3-dimensional thin-film structures, exploring all the benefits of Nano-science.

During the internship, you will be working in a team of multi-disciplinary backgrounds in a high-tech research environment. you will also be benefited from the academic and industrial aspects of work culture.
