ICMAB is one of the 41 partners for this International EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND DESTINY project that will cover 50 PhD studies in the battery field, starting in September 2021 and September 2022.
The DESTINY program is co-founded by the European Commission, through the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND PhD Programme (Grant Agreement #945357). ICMAB is one of the partners of the project, together with 40 other international partners, including 20 Universities, 13 Research centers, Research Networks, Regions, 7 Companies, Large Scale Facilities & National Agencies. ICMAB, as project partner, is offering 2 of the 29 possible topics for PhD’s:
Topic n°5 : Electrochemical and structural study of blended positive electrode materials for high power Li-ion batteries
This project is in collaboration between ICMAB-CSIC, in Barcelona, and CIC energiGUNE in Vitoria, both in Spain. The project will be supervised by M. Rosa Palacín, ICMAB researcher at the Solid State Chemistry (SSC) group.
Topic n°20 : Ca and Mg batteries: improvement of performances by interface engineering
This project is in collaboration between ICMAB-CSIC, in Barcelona, and the Institut des Sciences Analytiques et de Physico-Chimie pour l’Environnement et les Matériaux (IPREM), Unité Mixte de Recherche CNRS/Univérsité de Pau et de Pays de l’Adour, UPPA), France. The project will be supervised by Rémi Dedryvere (IPREM), with Alexandre Ponrouch as ICMAB supervisor, researcher at the Solid State Chemistry (SSC) group.
