Enabling Next-generation Rechargeable Aluminium-ion Batteries (2021–2024)

Abstract:

This project aims to develop a new generation of high performance and low-cost cathode materials for rechargeable aluminium ion batteries. To address the low capacity issue of current cathodes, this project anticipates to generate new knowledge in the material design of novel graphene materials. By developing an innovative surface perforation technique coupled in a continuous production process, this project expects to produce scalable and cost-effective graphene cathodes with a record-high capacity. Expected outcomes of this project include industrial adaptable manufacturing processing and advanced materials for aluminium ion batteries, thus increasing the competitiveness of the partner organisation in the rapid growing graphene market.
