Information about the research group
The research group is internationally and nationally recognized to be one of the most successful groups in the field. Group has an extensive collaboration with the industry and it also has a large network in the battery recycling sector.
The recycling of lithium (Li) ion batteries has been attracting both scientific and industrial interest due to the increasing amount of applications, waste, and security of supplying raw materials to the battery industry. Although several recycling processes were suggested to recover the valuable content of batteries, organics in the batteries specifically electrolyte is a challenge for safety and process effectiveness. The project aims to investigate to develop a novel supercritical fluid process technology for the recycling of electrolyte and to design recyclable electrolytes.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility is to pursue research in line with the project, publish and present scientific articles and take part in discussions within the group and also related companies. You will also be expected to take responsibility for some of the departmental duties and participate in teaching activities in the field of Chemistry.
