Summary: Postdoctoral fellowship at NRL to develop safer, more effective CFx cathodes for Li-CFx batteries, focusing on innovative synthetic approaches that avoid toxic fluorine gas.
Description
This postdoctoral opportunity at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, aims to develop highly effective CFx cathodes for Li-CFx batteries using novel synthetic approaches. The project seeks to move beyond the conventional production method of fluorinating graphite with toxic fluorine gas, instead exploring innovative techniques in fluorine and organic chemistry to create safer and more efficient cathode materials. The ideal candidate will have expertise in battery science and advanced synthetic methodologies related to fluorine and organic chemistries.
