   (min. 60% or equivalent).
2. Hands-on experience in

   nanomaterial synthesis

   (e.g., sol-gel, hydrothermal, precipitation).
3. Proficiency in

   material characterization

   (XRD, SEM/TEM, BET, XPS).
4. Basic knowledge of

   electrochemical techniques

   (CV, EIS) and energy storage devices.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with

  fluoride-based nanomaterials

  or

  supercapacitor electrode fabrication

  .
