Nanostructured metal organic frameworks for aqueous sodium ion batteries

钠离子水溶液电池有望满足太阳能、风能和其他挥发性可再生能源的大规模储能应用需求。本项目旨在设计和合成一系列具有可控介孔和中空结构的纳米结构金属有机框架，特别是普鲁士蓝类似物，作为水溶液钠离子电池的电极材料。独特的纳米结构设计可赋予电池系统长循环寿命、高倍率容量保持率和极低滞后等先进特征。该项目对澳大利亚资源的长期可行性至关重要，并支持澳大利亚进入新市场和供应链。

Aqueous sodium ion batteries are promising to meet demands for large-scale energy storage applications in the deployment of solar, wind and other volatile renewable energy sources. This project aims to design and synthesise a series of nanostructured metal organic frameworks, especially Prussian blue analogues, with controllable mesoporosity and hollow architectures as electrode materials for aqueous sodium ion batteries. Unique nanostructure design can endow the battery systems with advanced features of long cycle life, high rate capacity retention and very low hysteresis. The project is vitally important to the long-term viability of Australia's resources and supports Australia's access to new markets and supply chains.
