Fakultät für Chemie und Pharmazie – Universität Innsbruck

The Research Institute of Textile Chemistry and Textile Physics is looking for a self-motivated intern candidate to collaborate in the research Project "Embroidered electrodes for high-performance Li-ion batteries (3D-LiB)". Rechargeable lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are promising candidates to store efficiently electrical energy for a wide range of applications. However, there is a trade-off between the energy density and power density. In this project, an improvement on the volumetric energy densities of embroidered LiFePO4 cathodes will be investigated by optimizing the slurry recipe, the coating process and layout of the embroidered current collectors.
The student intern will be responsible for the preparation of slurry electrode formulations for the optimization of high-volumetric energy density batteries. The intern will also have the opportunity to become involved in other activities within the project and the research group, such as measuring rheological properties of the slurries, performing electrochemical measurements, and attending the group meetings. The candidate will have the chance to further develop their lab skills in an excellent work environment. The work can also contribute to a Master’s Thesis in Material Science.
Skills Required: Basic wet chemistry lab skills and familiar with data analysis are helpful
Internship start date: September-October, 2017
Internship end date: 6 months
Type of Student desired: undergraduate or graduate
Compensation: depends on the candidate, for an undergraduate: 391.20 €/month for 8 hours a week
