Kennziffer: HI 2024/12

Achieving climate-neutrality within the next 20 years necessitates an
innovation boost for the development of highly efficient, scalable, low-cost,
and sustainably produced energy technologies. Polymer materials play a central
role in this process.

HIPOLE deeply integrates and expands world-class expertise in polymer
chemistry, materials science, high-throughput experimentation and artificial
intelligence with complementary expertise in inorganic / hybrid materials,
scalable devices, and advanced characterization.

We are looking for a postdoctral researcher (f/m/d) for our site in
Berlin, Germany. You will have the chance to support the newly founded
institute with your ideas and expertise from the very beginning, and will
collaborate with researchers from all over the world to contribute to the
development of a climate-friendly future. The research focus should be on the
topic of sustainable polymer research with a focus on polymers for energy
applications, working on one of the following two thematic areas:

* Organosulfur-based Li-S batteries
* Synthesis and battery fabrication
The postdoc should conduct research in at least one of these areas. For more
information on each thematic focus, please visitHomepage – HIPOLE Jena

.

Your Tasks

* Synthesis of functional thiol-containing polymers and COFs in which sulfur
can be covalently bonded as cathode for Li-S batteries
* Preparation of electrodes using organo-sulfur polymer­ based material
and their electrochemical (Galvanostatic charging and discharging,
Potentiostatic and galvanostatic impedance spectroscopy) characterization
* Assembly and conduct electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries
* Supervision of bachelor / master students and PhD students
* Summary, presentation and publication of results (also in English)
Your Profile

* University degree in chemistry or a comparable course of study as well as
PhD in the field of polymer chemistry or materials science, or related topics
in electrochemistry
