Developing Sustainable and Reliable Anode-free Lithium Metal Batteries

该项目旨在研究和优化无阳极锂金属电池电极的功能特性。该项目预计将开发一种新型的高通量电化学平台，可以快速筛选从单个原子到整个电池单元的长度范围内的新材料和化学物质。如此详细地了解电池性能有望提高我们设计和制造智能电池材料的能力，这些材料比现有技术性能更高，更安全，更持久。通过开发商业上可行的下一代装置，供家庭或企业用于储存可再生能源，这将带来重大的社会经济和环境效益。

This project aims to investigate and optimise the functional properties of anode-free lithium metal battery electrodes. The project expects to develop a novel, high-throughput electrochemistry platform that can rapidly screen new materials and chemistries across length scales, from single atoms to entire battery cells. Understanding battery performance in such detail is expected to enhance our capability to design and manufacture smart battery materials that are higher performing, safer and longer lasting than current technologies. This should provide significant socio-economic and environmental benefits, through the development of commercially-feasible next-generation devices, used by households or businesses to store renewable energy.
