Developing Sustainable and Reliable Anode-free Lithium Metal Batteries

本项目旨在研究和优化无阳极金属锂电池电极的功能性能。该项目希望开发一个新颖的、高通量的电化学平台，可以快速筛选从单个原子到整个电池单元的长度范围内的新材料和化学物质。了解如此详细的电池性能有望增强我们设计和制造比当前技术更高性能、更安全和更持久的智能电池材料的能力。通过开发商业上可行的下一代设备，家庭或企业用来储存可再生能源，这应该会带来显著的社会经济和环境效益。

This project aims to investigate and optimise the functional properties of anode-free lithium metal battery electrodes. The project expects to develop a novel, high-throughput electrochemistry platform that can rapidly screen new materials and chemistries across length scales, from single atoms to entire battery cells. Understanding battery performance in such detail is expected to enhance our capability to design and manufacture smart battery materials that are higher performing, safer and longer lasting than current technologies. This should provide significant socio-economic and environmental benefits, through the development of commercially-feasible next-generation devices, used by households or businesses to store renewable energy.
