Postdoctoral Appointee – Advanced Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Batteries
Argonne National Laboratory • United States, ON-SITE • Posted June 13, 2026
About the Role
The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division seeks a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct research focused on the development of long-life, high-density cathode materials for electrochemical energy storage systems under the guidance of a supervising scientist.
The successful candidate will play a leading role in the synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of advanced layered oxide cathode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. This work will include the use of advanced synthesis methods, electrochemical testing, and state-of-the-art characterization techniques to understand material behavior and improve next-generation energy storage technologies.
**Key Responsibilities**
+ Develop and synthesize layered oxide precursor materials using a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), with control over morphology, particle size, and composition
+ Conduct physical, chemical, thermal, and electrochemical characterization of layere...
