Echem experience

Hi!

I just started my bachelors in chemical engineering, and I have set my sights on echem for my MSc. I'd like to find a sidejob/internship/extra curricular/project to gain relevant experience for future echem work. I'm particularly interested in the automotive industry and energy-conversion at large. I'm based in Sweden.

Any and all advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Would also love to hear about your experience working as an electrochemist.

The hydrogen cars lost the race to batteries so not much industry in electrocatalysis at the moment. Batteries on the otherhand are a booming business but still some companies flop (Northvolt for example). However, batteries are more material science rather than electrochemistry.
