IMDEA Energy is opening a Postdoctoral Researcher Position for the Electrochemical Processes Unit, looking for talented and motivated candidates, tlinked to the HOPE‑BAT project (PID2024‑160166OB‑I00). The project develops next‑generation organic batteries by designing redox‑porous polymers (CMPs, COFs, HCPs), advancing binder‑/collector‑free electrodes (buckypapers and fully polymeric films), and building practical Li‑polymer, Zn‑polymer and all‑polymer prototypes. Work spans polymer synthesis & post‑modification, advanced electrode manufacturing, in‑situ/operando electrochemistry, and electrochemical characterization of coin-cell prototypes.

The requirements are as follows:

Tasks Description:

• Design, synthesis, post‑synthetic modification, and hybridization of redox‑porous polymers (CMPs/COFs/HCPs) with nanocarbons or conducting polymers.
• Physico‑chemical and textural characterization (SEM/TEM, XRD, XPS, N₂ sorption, TGA/DSC).
• Fabrication of advanced electrodes: CNT‑supported buckypapers and self‑standing fully polymeric films.
• Assembly and testing of Li‑polymer, Zn‑polymer and all‑polymer cells (mostly coin-cells), targeting high areal capacity and fast charge.
• Comprehensive electrochemical characterization (CV, GCD, GITT, EIS) and in‑situ/operando IR/Raman to elucidate charge‑storage and degradation mechanisms.
• Participation in dissemination (high‑impact journals, conferences) and, where relevant, IP protection and tech‑transfer activities.
• Contribution to proposal writing and supervision/mentoring of Master’s/undergraduate students.
• Communicate and disseminate research results through high-quality scientific channels including high impact scientific publications, presentation in international conferences, etc.
• Supervision of Master or undergraduate students.
