The current challenges facing society with regard to energy supply require us to reduce emissions, make greater use of renewable energies and utilise energy efficiently. As an institute of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), we contribute to meeting these challenges of our time and helping to shape the future.
Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!
Req ID: 1140
Place of work: Stuttgart
Starting date: ab sofort
Career level: Student research project and final thesis
Type of employment: Full-time, Part time
Duration of contract: nach Vereinbarung
Remuneration: Remuneration is in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector - Federal Government (TVöD-Bund)
In the Electrochemical Energy Technology department, electrochemical reactors and storage systems play a key role in shaping our future with renewable energy from the sun and wind. These include batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers. They are essential building blocks for a future energy system that can be used in both stationary energy supply and electromobility.
What to expect
The Department Electrochemical Energy Technology of the Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics is involved in the development of next-generation battery systems, which are characterized by the use of available and thus cost-effective materials (e. g. Mg, Ca, Zn, S), safe cell operation and high energy density. Novel electrodes and electrolytes are produced, applied in battery cells and characterized using established but also innovative measurement methods. The objective of your work is to realize reversible calcium metal anodes by further developing existing electrolyte systems in order to enhance the cycling stability of Ca secondary batteries. Through the work in the multi-layered subject areas - from the production of the cells, the use and construction of measurement systems to the evaluation of the recorded data - a deep and comprehensive understanding of the cell chemistry and functioning of batteries is achieved.
