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.
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.
Sugarcane waste could be a key ingredient in tackling plastic pollution, with an AIBN researcher receiving funding to turn the green waste into sustainable packaging.
The development of next-generation solar-power technology that has potential to be used as a flexible ‘skin’ over hard surfaces has moved a step closer, thanks to a significant breakthrough at AIBN.
