The development of a new, non-flammable electrolyte material could mean a safer and cheaper alternative to lithium-ion batteries and – thanks to the work of University of Queensland researchers – another step towards a cleaner energy future.
AIBN researchers devised technology to make graphene into more efficient electrodes for powering batteries, improving the performance of aluminium ion batteries, also providing a much safer alternative.
Flat batteries could be a thing of the past thanks to lithium-ion battery nanotechnology developed by UQ. Professor Lianzhou Wang and his team from have demonstrated a battery that remains stable for more than 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
A pivotal collaboration between AIBN, the Queensland Government, Boeing, GE, Mackay Sugar Ltd and IOR Energy, has seen the development of an advanced new aviation biofuel made from sugarcane.
Our breakthrough solar power technology – a flexible, printable ‘skin’ that can be applied to hard surfaces – has set a world record for the conversion of solar energy to electricity.
Faster-charging and more sustainable batteries with a life up to three times greater than lithium ion are being built with technology developed at AIBN.
