POSTDOC POSITION IN ADVANCED COATING OF LFP MATERIALS – IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO, CANADA 12772

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to explore advanced coating techniques for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) materials. This role focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions to enhance the performance of LFP batteries, with a particular emphasis on advanced material coating strategies.

The project addresses the growing need to improve the surface properties and stability of LFP materials, especially under high-performance applications. Traditional methods for coating and stabilizing LFP cathodes often face limitations in durability and electrochemical efficiency. This research aims to overcome these challenges by applying innovative coating techniques using polymer- and nanomaterial-based coatings. These advanced coatings will enhance not only the chemical and thermal stability of the LFP materials but also improve their electrochemical performance, surface area, and selective permeability.

The successful candidate will investigate methods to coating active materials, such as nanostructured coatings, to protect the LFP particles while optimizing their performance in high-energy-density applications. The coated LFP materials should exhibit superior mechanical and chemical resilience, ensuring that the coatings maintain their structural integrity during industrial-scale operations.

Key research areas include:

Developing novel polymer- or nanomaterial-based shells to coat the LFP particles

Enhancing the surface properties of the coatings to selectively permit ion diffusion, increasing the electrochemical performance while reducing unwanted reactions.

Ensuring that the coated LFP materials remain stable under high-voltage and cycling conditions typical in energy storage applications.

Focusing on scaling these advanced materials for industrial applications, from traditional battery technologies to more innovative energy storage systems.

This position will contribute to the next generation of LFP-based batteries, improving their safety, efficiency, and overall performance for sustainable energy storage solutions.

Job Description :

The successful candidate will carry out duties to the highest standard and will:


	Undertake original research of international excellence.
	Develop research objectives and proposals for own and/or collaborative research projects.

	Solid knowledge and experience in polymer coating and LFP or other battery electrode materials.
	Hands-on experience in battery fabrication and characterization.
	Familiarity with energy storage technologies is preferred. 


Associated Skills:


	Experience working on a project combining organic materials synthesis, purifications, and their characterization.
	Proven past experiences on the preparation and characterization of polymers and electrochemistry.
	Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary and multicultural team.
	Proven ability of working with projects partners to reach their objectives timely.
	Excellent networking ability and organizational skills.
	Proven and distinct work experiences in academia and/or industries and/or abroad are highly requested.
