Low-cost, scalable and agile synthesis routes for sodium-ion battery materials

锂离子电池的成本在不久的将来将大幅上升，原因是锂的供应有限，以及汽车锂离子电池的关键材料“非洲血钴”的日益激烈。该项目建立了在Deregallera生产替代候选钠离子电池的能力。它开发了低成本，易于扩展的非传统材料工艺，用于合成电极，并开发了有针对性的电解质配方，以最大限度地提高系统协同作用。

The cost of lithium-ion batteries is set to rise substantially in the near future, due to limited availability of lithium and the growing furore over "African blood Cobalt", a key material of automotive LIB. This project establishes a capability to manufacture alternative candidate sodium-ion batteries at Deregallera. It develops low cost, readily scalable unconventional material processes for synthesising electrodes and develops targeted electrolyte formulations to maximise system synergy.
