Energy storage in the form of rechargeable batteries is becoming increasingly important for a range of applications and devices including transportation and grid reserves. Alkaline earth metal-oxygen batteries using the earth abundant metals, such as calcium as the anode and calcium cations as the charge carrier present a low cost and easily raw material resourced high energy storage battery system. They offer much greater energy storage a than present day batteries, such as lithium ion, in addition to their abundance worldwide. In order to achieve progress in the field of calcium based batteries and their subsequent development, mechanistic understanding of the cell chemistry and the required materials, and cell structure, needs to be understood. To evaluated the feasibility of a battery system based upon calcium within the project we will construct Lab-scale test cells that will be tested under an oxygen atmosphere.

可充电电池形式的能量存储对于包括运输和电网储备在内的一系列应用和设备变得越来越重要。碱土金属-氧电池使用地球上丰富的金属，例如钙作为阳极和钙阳离子作为电荷载体，提供了低成本和容易获得原材料的高能量存储电池系统。它们提供比当今电池（例如锂离子电池）更大的能量存储，此外它们在全球范围内丰富。为了实现钙基电池领域的进步及其后续发展，需要理解电池化学和所需材料以及电池结构的机械理解。为了评估该项目中基于钙的电池系统的可行性，我们将构建实验室规模的测试电池，并在氧气气氛下进行测试。
