Post - doc : New chemical synthesis in ionic liquids and characterization of alloys
nanoparticles
This proposal focused on developing a new synthesis method that allows tailoring the
morphology and the structure of alloy nano-materials that can be further used as electrode
structured materials for batteries.
This subject concerns the development of a new route for the chemical synthesis of tin-based
nano-alloys using ionic liquids as solvent which allow tailoring their morphology and
structure.
This project is gathering two labs in University Pierre et Marie Curie UPMC
(http://www.upmc.fr/en/index.html). Synthesis will be carried out in PECSA lab
(www.pecsa.upmc.fr), characterization at the nanometric scale in LM2N lab
(www.sri.jussieu.fr ). These nano-alloys will be tested as electrode materials of battery in the
PECSA lab.
This one year position for a postdoctoral researcher, funded by Labex MICHEM from UPMC
university, Paris, France, is available immediately. Financial support is 2186 euros net
monthly.
Candidates with PhD in chemistry should have a strong background in inorganic chemistry
(nanoparticles chemical synthesis) and in techniques for nanoparticles characterization (XRD,
electron microscopy e.g. HRTEM, SEM).
