Description

Advanced Zinc Metal Batteries for Sustainable Energy Storage. Energy-dense and durable zinc metal batteries for sustainable energy storage. Zinc metal batteries epitomize a cheap, safe, and sustainable alternative solution to store renewable energy. This project aims to innovate and design conversion-type cathodes and efficient zinc anodes for high energy density and long lifespan zinc metal batteries. New element conversion chemistries and novel interfacial mechanisms will be elucidated and leveraged to enable the fabrication of such advanced batteries. This project will generate knowledge from the multidisciplinary research and pave the way to a new generation of affordable energy storage technology supporting Australia’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Zengxia Pei
