A fresh round of Advance Queensland funding will help AIBN researchers team up with industry to develop next-gen lithium-ion batteries, indoor solar panels, and nanotech-assisted kits for drug screening.
AIBN group leader Dr Bin Luo and industry partner Redflow are cracking the code to better battery tech, pitting battery materials against each other to identify superior performance, improve costs, and identify degradation factors.
Australia is an energy-intensive country, in terms of both production and consumption per capita. Solar energy storage technology, which can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and alleviate environmental and climate change, will directly benefit the Australian economy.
Two projects led by AIBN researchers – and another that features some of our brightest minds – have been recognised with $2m funding under the latest ARC Linkage Grants round.
Metal-CO2 batteries have been considered a promising approach to neutralising the global CO2 level, but they still suffer from poor energy efficiency and cycling stability.
One of the key obstacles for large scale commercial deployment is the low round-trip energy efficiency caused by the competitive side reactions during battery charging. The project aims to address this issue by...
This project aims to develop a new prototype of solar rechargeable battery for the direct capture and storage of abundant but intermittent solar energy.
Zinc-Bromine flow batteries are one of the most promising electrochemical redox system for stationary energy storage due to their relatively low cost of primary electrolyte and high theoretical specific energy.
Aluminium ion batteries (AIBs) are regarded to be one of the most promising alternatives for next-generation batteries thanks to the abundant reserves, low cost, and lightweight of aluminium anode.
