This project aims to develop a new solar rechargeable Zinc-Bromine flow battery for better utilization of the abundant yet intermittently available sunlight. The key design is to create a solar-driven photoelectrochemical process to convert the discharged electrode materials back to their charged states and realise the direct storage of solar energy. Expected outcomes include new solar driven rechargeable technology and photoelectrode materials, as well as new knowledge generated from collaborations across materials science, photoelectrochemistry and nanotechnology disciplines. Further advances in functional materials for solar energy storage will assist in addressing the global energy shortage and mitigating environmental pollution.

本项目旨在开发一种新的太阳能可充电锌溴液流电池，以更好地利用充足但间歇可用的阳光。设计的关键是建立一个太阳能驱动的光电化学过程，将放电的电极材料转换回充电状态，实现太阳能的直接存储。预期成果包括新的太阳能驱动的可充电技术和光电极材料，以及从材料科学、光电化学和纳米技术学科的合作中产生的新知识。太阳能储能功能材料的进一步发展将有助于解决全球能源短缺和减轻环境污染。
