Main Research Activities
To improve energy density in standard Li-ion batteries, 2 options are available: using high capacity materials or increase battery nominal voltage. In case of all solid-state batteries, new parameter such as shaping must be considered. According to the collaboration between LRCS (V. Viallet & M. Morcrette) and RENAULT (M. Chakir), my goals during this PhD are: - Synthesis of solid electrolyte materials by using RS2E pilot lab in Amiens - Study and improve electrode formulation including optimization of electrode/electrolyte blend followed by characterization and interface comprehension Identification of the best system (positive electrode/solid electrolyte/negative electrode) and conception of battery prototype with ambitious energy densityAcademic Training
