该项目旨在提高对多组分材料中界面相互作用的基本理解，这是成功设计和实验验证钾离子电池新型层状硫化物系统的关键先导。将采用一种新的层状结构构建技术，通过可控界面工程来提高阳极的本征电子和离子电导率。该项目的预期成果是为下一代储能生产高能量密度、高安全性、长循环寿命的钾离子电池。该项目将使澳大利亚在全球新兴的可持续制造和能源储存技术方面具有竞争优势。

This project aims to improve the fundamental understanding of interfacial interactions in multicomponent materials, which is a critical precursor to successfully designing and experimentally validating novel layered sulphide systems for potassium-ion batteries. A new layered structure construction technique will be employed to enhance the intrinsic electronic and ionic conductivities in the anode by controllable interphase and interface engineering. The expected outcomes of this project are to generate potassiumion batteries with high energy density, high safety, and long cycle life for next generation energy storage. This project should give Australia a competitive edge in the globally emerging sustainable manufacturing and energy-storage technologies.
