Quest for Sustainable Electrochemical Energy Storage System

该项目旨在开发用于电网规模可再生能源存储的高性能水性锌离子电池。锌离子二次电池具有安全性高、成本低、环境友好等优点，是一种很有前途的电化学储能技术。该项目通过开发高容量正极材料、无枝晶锌金属阳极和先进电解质，预计将实现高能量密度、长循环寿命和高性价比的实用水性锌离子电池。锌离子电池的部署将使可再生能源的整合和电网的稳定成为可能。该项目将直接支持澳大利亚到2050年实现净零排放的承诺。

This project aims to develop high performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries for grid-scale renewable energy storage. Rechargeable zinc-ion battery is a promising electrochemical energy storage technology owing to its high safety, low-cost and environmental friendliness. By developing high capacity cathode materials, dendrite-free zinc metal anodes and advanced electrolytes, this project expects to achieve practical aqueous zinc-ion batteries with high energy density, long cycle life and cost-effectiveness. The deployment of zinc-ion batteries will enable integration of renewable energies and stabilisation of electricity networks. The project will directly support Australia’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
