Description

Phase Change Materials for Renewable Energy Storage. This project aims to develop a new generation of phase change materials (PCMs) and their scaled-up, sustainable production processes to advance the technology of thermal energy storage. The significance of this proposal stems from its potential to boost renewable energy penetration and uptake by creating inexpensive and reliable energy storage technologies based on PCMs and thermal batteries. Working with partners Boron Molecular P/L and Energy Storage P/L the anticipated outcomes of this project will be practical and accessible energy storage devices that can be implemented at various distributed levels and integrated into existing supply networks, providing cheap energy in the form of heat and electricity from zero-carbon sources.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 3403 - Macromolecular and Materials Chemistry. Lead: Dr Karolina Matuszek
