Enabling High-performance Layered Oxide Sodium-Ion Battery Cathodes

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The great abundance of sodium on the earth's crust and similar work principles have made sodium-ion batteries the most promising replacement for commercial lithium-ion batteries, which are struggling with the increasing cost. This project studies the layered oxides for use as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. The cross-disciplinary strategy and approaches will be employed to address the weaknesses of such oxides and release the hidden potential to achieve commercialisation. The expected outcome includes advancement in fundamental knowledge of cathode materials design and the development of clean energy, revamping the energy structure of Australia.
