Offer Description
The project is financed within the PEPR Batteries. The work will be carried out at the LRCS in Amiens and co-supervised by Emmanuel Baudrin (LRCS) and Lionel Dubois (CEA). The PhD student recruited should have skills in organic synthesis and/or coordination chemistry, and in characterizing these systems using conventional chemistry methods. Notions or skills in electrochemistry would be appreciated.
The development of renewable energies makes stationary energy storage a necessity. Although widely developed for small equipment and mobility, Li-Ion or Na-ion batteries are not necessarily the most suitable for this type of application, for reasons of cost, safety and recyclability. One of the most promising avenues is the development of flow batteries, in which energy is stored in electrolytes stored outside the electrochemical cell. This makes it possible to decorrelate the power and capacity of the electrochemical system. Classically, electroactive species are dissolved in aqueous or non-aqueous media, the most highly developed being vanadium flow redox (VRFB) systems. Recently, the use of electroactive organic molecules in aqueous electrolytes has revitalized these systems. Although much progress has been made, potentially interesting molecules for posolytes remain scarce and some improvements can be made for negolytes. The aim of the proposed thesis is to develop, prepare and characterize new aqueous-soluble transition metal complexes that could be used to form electrolytes for redox flow batteries. The study will involve (1) selecting and/or modifying ligands for transition metal complexation 2) study complex formation and electrochemical properties (3) assess solubility and stability in aqueous electrolytes (4) test in complete batteries.
