PhD in Nanotechnology with Focus on Synthesis Characterisation and Application of Cellulose-based Carbon Paper in Energy Storage and Environmental Applications

The project, which will be carried out at The Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials, is aimed at developing cellulose-based carbon fiber for the manufacturing of thickness tuneable, electrochemically stable, mechanically flexible cellulose-based carbon paper, and evaluate its potential in flexible energy storage devices. Other environmental related applications will also be explored. This work includes the preparation of conducting polymer/cellulose composites and using such composites as carbon precursor to produce novel carbon fiber via different carbonization techniques.

We also expect you to be proficient in oral and written English in order to interact and communicate effectively with all employees as well as to publish internationally.
