Description
'Batteries power our world and are ubiquitous. They are the heart of energy storage systems and provide solutions for a variety of potential applications.


At the Helmholtz Institute Münster:

Ion Conduction in Energy Storage (IEK-12), we focus on electrolyte research as a key area for future battery concepts.

Our main research activities include the design, synthesis, characterization, and processing of advanced battery electrolytes and chemistries.

We are located at the Münster branch of the Jülich Research Center and work closely with the University of Münster (WWU) and the RWTH Aachen University.

This allows us to promote joint research and this important future field of electrochemical energy storage.


Your tasks:


Ceramic materials with a proton conductivity of less than 1 S/cm are often neglected in research because they cannot be used in conventional applications such as fuel cells.

However, there are potentially interesting applications such as electro-chemo-X devices (EC-X, i.e.

solid-state chemotronics), on-chip batteries, or micro fuel cells that do not require high power density but require good compatibility with Si microfabrication (e.g.

with sputtering techniques). These components should be usable at temperatures below 250 °C.

Ceramic oxide materials with pyrochlore structure are potential candidates for such applications, as they have a low proton conductivity but promising properties for thin film deposition.
