Basic requirement for English applies. More Information and Application precedure:  https://www.ntu.edu.sg/admissions/graduate

The candidate should have basic knowledge and experience in energy materials and devices.

The candidate must be self-motivated, responsible, and preferably creative. He/she should have a high curiosity and eagerness to design, develop and implement new research ideas.

The candidate should ideally have excellent teamwork quality and good English skill; Collaboration is the key to success.

This 3-year project aims to develop high-energy density and long lifle span aqueous batteries (includes but not limited to Zn). The research includes:

• Synthesize and functionalize electrode materials for high stability and capacity,
• Optimize aqueous electrolytes with stable and high voltage window
• First-principle calculations (including Machine Learning)
• Metal anode surface engineering
• In-situ characterizations
• Device fabrication and comprehensive device evaluation (including operando monitoring)

Position ID: P10030059                      Position ID: P10030057  

No nationality limit. The candidate should hold a PhD degree from applied physics, materials sciences and engineering, or equivelent. He/she must have proved knowledge and expertise in aqueous batteries demonstrated by high-quality publication record. Experience in in-situ operando characterization techniques and/or DFT calculations will be considered with priority.

We are interested in candidates who are responsible, independent, self-disciplined and self-motivated. Most important quality is CREATIVITY. He/she should have the skills of critical and logical thinking. Competence in oral and written communications is highly preferable. If you believe you are qualified, please don't hesitate to contact.
