Can you help drive the energy transition by simulating a battery that uses water and table salt?Job DescriptionEnergy storage is an indispensable factor for bridging the electricity consumption with the intermittent renewable energy supply. Electricity grids face significant challenges in balancing economic growth with sustainability targets. Rapid electrification across industrial, transport, commercial, and residential sectors strains existing grid infrastructure, leading to congestion and transmission bottlenecks. These issues limit the integration of renewable energy. Long-duration energy storage (LDES), that provide 8+ hours of storage, can balance intermittent production and demand, thereby stabilizing the grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and ensuring more effective use of renewable energy. TenneT expects 4.9 GW of large-scale battery storage is required in The Netherlands by 2030, while there was only 0.14 GW installed in 2023. Hence, a rapid scale-up of LDES is needed.In that light, we started a collaborative project, with universities (TU Delft, UTwente, TU/Eindhoven, HAN) and companies (AQUABATTERY, Elestor, Exergy Storage, RWE, Nobian), to develop batteries for long-duration energy storage. Specifically, this postdoc position focuses on acid-base flow batteries, and more specifically multiphysics simulations of the liquid and ions in acid-base flow batteries. Acid-base flow batteries are based on dissociating water into acid and base during charging, using bipolar membranes, and recombining acid and base in this membrane to retrieve electrical energy.We're looking for an excellent postdoc, with strong simulation skills, to investigate how flow geometries, membrane properties and operational conditions can improve the technology of acid-base flow batteries. The aim is to better understand transport of ions through the (bipolar) membranes and the associated non-idealities (such as ion crossover, concentration polarization and non-uniform current distribution) and develop strategies for enhancing the energy efficiency. Close collaboration with particularly the company AQUABATTERY will be required, and you will work together with a group of postdocs and other researchers on developing components (membranes, electrodes, spacers/flow fields).For this postdoc position, you need to have an outstanding scientific track record, good skills for multiphysics simulation work, and experience in electrochemical systems. Your daily operation is in the EFS research group of David Vermaas. The work of our group addresses electrochemical flow systems, including applications of electrolysis, water technology, CO2 capture and flow batteries. You will collaborate with other researchers in the department and with companies in this project. The work will also contribute to TU Delft's e-Refinery institute on electrochemical conversion that includes >20 principal investigators across the campus, where electrochemical advances are used and valorised in upscaled prototypes, in collaboration with industrial partners.Job RequirementsWe're looking for a candidate with:A PhD degree, in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics or similarProven experience in simulating electrochemical systemsAn excellent publication recordExperience in studying flow dynamics (either simulation or experiments) is considered a plusKnowledge of process technology and system-level thinking is considered a plusExperience in working at larger scale and/or industrial collaboration is considered a plusPro-active and creative mind-setFluent in English.
