This proposal is for a research program in new low cost, high energy density battery chemistries based on abundant, sustainable materials. This includes research in magnesium and aluminum batteries, which are theoretically predicted to store more energy than current lithium ion batteries and are based on inexpensive, sustainable materials that are produced in large quantities in Canada. These battery chemistries are especially interesting for large scale energy storage, including applications for harnessing Canada's rich renewable power sources. There are significant technical hurdles in developing these battery chemistries. My laboratory has recently developed a new type of research battery which enables us to conduct fundamental research towards the development of these battery chemistries in a new way, and, furthermore, has the ability to test battery materials at high temperatures. These methods enable researchers in my laboratory to fundamentally investigate battery materials which have previously been unexplored. Using these methods researchers involved in this program will systematically explore new electrode materials and electrolytes for magnesium and aluminum batteries. In addition, these methods will also allow researchers in my laboratory to investigate the new metal-ion batteries for high temperature applications, such as in sterilizable medical devices. Researchers trained in this program will be highly skilled in materials science, sustainability and electrochemistry and will be well suited for high demand careers in materials in Canada, especially in Canada's battery, renewable energy, and automotive industries.

该提案是一项基于丰富的可持续材料的新型低成本，高能量密度电池化学研究计划。这包括对镁和铝电池的研究，理论上预计这些电池将比目前的锂离子电池储存更多的能量，并且基于加拿大大量生产的廉价，可持续的材料。这些电池化学物质对于大规模储能特别有趣，包括利用加拿大丰富的可再生能源的应用。 在开发这些电池化学物质方面存在重大的技术障碍。我的实验室最近开发了一种新型的研究电池，使我们能够以一种新的方式对这些电池化学的发展进行基础研究，并且能够在高温下测试电池材料。这些方法使我实验室的研究人员能够从根本上研究以前未开发的电池材料。使用这些方法，参与该计划的研究人员将系统地探索用于镁和铝电池的新电极材料和电解质。此外，这些方法还将使我实验室的研究人员能够研究用于高温应用的新型金属离子电池，例如可灭菌的医疗设备。 在该计划中培训的研究人员将在材料科学，可持续性和电化学方面具有高度技能，非常适合加拿大材料的高需求职业，特别是在加拿大的电池，可再生能源和汽车行业。
