Nanomakers is looking for an intern to prepare silicon based materials for Lithium-ion batteries

8 Nov 2022

CONTEXT

Nanomakers, a start-up located in Rambouillet (France), designs, produces and sales patented silicon-based nanopowders at an industrial scale by a laser pyrolysis process.

Those nanoparticles are mainly used to increase the specific energy density of lithium-ion batteries and to enhance mechanical properties of high performances materials (metallic alloys, elastomers, ceramics).

Preparation of silicon-based materials for Li-ion batteries is key for the battery market as it dramatically improves their performances, but it still faces technical challenges to achieve very high capacities. It’s also a major challenge for Nanomakers.

 

MISSION

This internship first challenge will be to prepare silicon-based materials for Li-ion batteries. The intern’s tasks and objectives will be:

• Bibliographic study;
• Sélection of formulations;
• Performing tests in the R&D laboratory;
• Process optimization at lab scale.

A second challenge will be the study of various nanoparticles dispersion stability. In that case, the intern will:

• Préparer l’échantillon pour l’analyse;
• Make quality control measurement;
• Compare specifications with the current one and amend them if needed.

QUALIFICATIONS

This internship is full-time for 4 to 6 months for a student applying for M1 or M2 degree in chemistry or in material science from March-April 2023.

CV and cover letter must be sent to: aoliveira[arobase]nanomakers.fr, phone: +33 134 836 300.

 

Intership period : 4 to 6 months full-time
Place : Rambouillet (78)
