Electrolyte and interface engineering of solid-state sodium batteries

该项目旨在开发比传统液体电解质电池更安全的大型固态钠离子电池，同时不影响性能，从而解决电池的重大安全问题。这将通过使用统计和机器学习技术对钠离子传输的基本理解来实现固态电解质和电解质-电极界面的新工程。预期成果包括了解电池中的离子传输机制，提供具有高离子电导率的先进固态电解质，以及具有优异性能和安全特性的电池，这有利于澳大利亚的环境和可持续性。

This project aims to develop large-scale solid-state sodium-ion batteries exhibiting better safety compared to classic liquid electrolyte batteries without compromising on performance, thus addressing the significant issue of safety in batteries. This will be achieved by novel engineering of solid-state electrolytes and electrolyte-electrode interfacing by a fundamental understanding of sodium-ion transport using statistical and machine-learning techniques. Expected outcomes include an understanding of ion-transport mechanisms in batteries, delivery of advanced solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, and batteries with excellent performance and safety characteristics, which benefits Australia's environment and sustainability.
