Exploration of Advanced Nanostructures for Sodium-ion Battery Application

该项目的目的是开发用于高能量、长寿命钠离子电池的先进纳米结构电极材料。钠离子电池是大规模电能储存的最有前途的选择，特别是可再生能源和智能电网，因为它们的成本低，钠的天然丰度。该项目的成功将促进对钠离子电池的基本理解，并为开发智能电网迫切需要的有前途的低成本可再生能源存储系统提供技术。

The aim of this project is to develop advanced nanostructured electrode materials for high energy, long service life sodium-ion batteries. Sodium-ion batteries are the most promising choice for large-scale electrical energy storage, in particular for renewable energy sources and smart electric grids, owing to their low cost and natural abundance of sodium. The success of this project will advance fundamental understanding of sodium-ion batteries, and provide techniques for the development of a promising low-cost system for renewable energy storage, which is urgently needed in smart electricity grids.
