Ph.D. studentship: Green energy storage: development of sustainable supercapacitors by direct laser writing of natural materialsContract: Full Time/FixedTermThe Nanotechnology group and the Materials modelling for devices group in Tyndall are offering a fully funded PhD position in a new exciting project: Green energy storage: development of sustainable supercapacitors by direct laser writing of natural materials (SUPER-GREEN) supported by Science Foundation Ireland through the SFI/IRC Pathway Program. The anticipated start date of the PhD is December 1st 2024.is a leading European research centre in integrated ICT hardware. We focus on solving societal challenges through deep-tech innovation in materials, devices, circuits and systems. We collaborate with industry and academic partners to transform research from atoms to systems into products in our core market areas of Communications, Agri-Tech, Energy, Environment and Health. We are a diverse, inclusive and family-friendly community of over 600 researchers, engineers, technicians, professional services and support staff, and postgraduate students.Project DescriptionThe rapid increase in demand for powered connected devices poses environmental concerns both in terms of high energy production requirements and end-of-life disposal. Implementation of eco-friendly energy storage systems and self-powered solutions is crucial to ensure future sustainability of such devices. Accordingly, SUPER-GREEN proposes the development of novel self-powered and eco-friendly supercapacitor energy storage materials, whereby electrode materials will be fabricated by direct laser writing of biopolymers, while eco-friendly materials will be used as electrolytes. The capabilities of developed structures will be assessed through the demonstration of energy storage capability through the supercapacitive behaviour, towards realisation of next generation all natural green supercapacitor devices.The work in this exciting PhD program involves:
