Industrial PhD in Battery Technology development – Impact of electrochemical pre-lithiation process on cell production.
Beyonder is looking for a candidate highly interested in battery technology development, especially with interest in examining the process of prelithiation increasing cycle life and lifetime of battery cells, key features of Beyonder’s Lithium-ion Capacitor.
Tentative Project Title: Impact of electrochemical pre-lithiation process on cell production.
Objective: Investigate the impact of pre-lithiation on the cell assembly and its subsequent formation process.
Expected Milestone 1: Optimize the SEI formation during pre-lithiation process Optimize the electrolyte composition and pre-lithiation condition to achieve a high-quality SEI film on the surface of electrode during pre-lithiation.
Expected Milestone 2: Investigate the SEI evaluation during cell assembly The formed SEI will be exposed to the dry air during the cell assembly process.
Expected Milestone 3: Evaluate the possibility of new type electrochemistry Expand the pre-lithiation theory to new type of electrochemistry not only the lithium but also the other energy source.
The position is for 3-years. You will work one year at Beyonder’s R&D facilities in Sandnes, one year at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, and the last year to be agreed on. You will be supervised by prof. Steven Boles at NTNU and CTO Dr. Han Ho Lee with >33 years for experience from the battery technology industry. You will be part of a high skilled and international team at Beyonder, and work at a recognized University in Norway.

Working and living in Norway
Beyonder is located in the Stavanger region on the South West coast of Norway. This region is the energy capital in Norway, and it has since the 1960’s fostered technology development and operation of world leading oil and gas business. Now the renewable wave has hit the region.
The average working week is 40 hours. Combined with five weeks of annual vacation, most workers in Norway are able to have a great work-life balance.
Norwegians love to live in Norway. Why? According to the OECD Better Life Index, Norway performs very well in many measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index. For instance Norway ranks top in personal security and above average in subjective well-being, environmental quality, civic engagement, social connections, and health status.
Living in Norway is living close to nature. Enjoy the fresh air every day on your way to work, or go for a hike or a ski trip in the mountains or a refreshing surf on the cold, windy beaches.
