Postdoctoral Associate Opportunity: From Waste Tires to Electrode Materials for Batteries and Supercapacitors
The Department of
Chemical & Biological Engineering has an excellent opportunity for a
Postdoctoral Associate in the Amit Goyal research group to conduct applied research in synthesis, device fabrication and characterization of Na-ion based batteries and supercapacitors using carbon electrodes derived from waste tires.
The work involves:
Developing novel methodologies for extracting activated carbon from waste tires Fabricating coin cells Performing full electrochemical characterization towards realizing performance approaching the best reported performance for Na-ion batteries. In addition, the project involves design and fabrication of supercapacitors from tire-derived carbon and having high performance. It is expected that the Postdoctoral Associate will work independently, establish all experimental processes and instrumentation for the work.
