Safe and Reliable Solid-State Zinc Batteries

该项目旨在设计和制造一种具有满意能量密度和长寿命的新型柔性耐用固态锌基电池，用于可扩展的储能。通过结合先进的材料工程、原位仪器技术和原子水平计算（一种跨学科的方法），将开发各种具有理想晶体学和热力学性能的新型电极材料和固态电解质，以构建柔性固态锌电池系统。该项目的成功完成对于低成本、安全可靠的储能技术——当今澳大利亚和世界面临的关键能源和环境挑战具有重要意义。

The project aims to design and fabricate a new-type of flexible and durable solid-state zinc-based battery with satisfactory energy density and long-term lifespan for scalable energy storage. A variety of novel electrode materials and solid-state electrolytes with desirable crystallographic and thermodynamic properties will be developed to construct flexible solid-state zinc battery systems, by combining advanced material engineering, in-situ instrumental techniques, and atomic-level computation - an interdisciplinary approach. The successful completion of this project will be of great significance for low-cost, safe and reliable energy storage technology – the key energy and environmental challenges facing today’s Australia and the world.
