Targeted electrolyte design for high energy aqueous batteries

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Project aims to develop a new generation, high-energy aqueous battery. A range of new aqueous electrolytes with large working window at low concentration will be designed to replace traditional, flammable and toxic organic electrolytes, and; low-cost and multi-electron reaction materials will be developed as high-capacity electrodes to replace traditional intercalation-type materials. The Project will establish the structure-property relationship for electrolytes and interphases via advanced characterization(s) and computation. The new battery will be safe, energetic and sustainable for the billion-dollar energy storage market for electric vehicle, and smart-grid whilst addressing concurrently battery safety and boosted energy-density.
