Pacific Northwest National Lab Work Values

Daily Duties at Pacific Northwest National Lab:

• Hydrogen Storage Materials: Characterize thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of hydrogen storage materials; study the expoy composites with nanao-Si powder; large amount of use of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA); investigate the flowability and and morphology of Ammonia Borane. Build up the library of material parameter for the issue of safety and transportability. • Nanocomposite/nano-ink: Exploit solution-based nanocomposite/nano-inks for photovoltaic assembly and Li-ion battery using combinatorial and high-throughput method. Synthesis the nano-ink solution, coating on Cu foil or making into paper electrode, assembly into Li cell or Mn cell, then test the cell performance. • Vanadium Redox Flow Battery: Investigate polymeric additives/surfactants to increase the solubility and stability of electrolyte. Design the elecrtode to increase the mass rtansfer to graphite fiber, and finally increase the cell efficiency.

What they like about Pacific Northwest National Lab:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
