Stable Lithium-Sodium Metal Anodes for Rechargeable Alkali Metal Batteries

该项目旨在解决碱金属阳极枝晶生长和体积变化带来的安全问题，这是可充电碱金属电池实际应用的挑战。本项目旨在设计一种新型的三维锂/钠主体，具有亲锂-憎锂的梯度界面层，以实现均匀的沉积和结构稳定。该项目的预期成果是成功开发出稳定、安全、高能量密度的碱金属电池。该项目应该会有重大的好处，例如增进碱金属电池的知识，并加强澳大利亚在下一代储能技术领域的竞争力。

The project aims to address the safety issues derived from the dendritic growth and volume variation of alkali metal anodes, which are a challenge for the practical application of rechargeable alkali metal batteries. This project seeks to design a novel 3D lithium/sodium host featuring a lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient interfacial layer to achieve uniform deposition and structural stability. The expected outcome of this project is to successfully develop alkali metal batteries that are stable, safe and have high energy density. This project should have significant benefits such as the advancement of knowledge in alkali metal batteries and strengthen Australia’s competitiveness in the area of next-generation energy storage technologies.
