Microscopy characterisation for the designing of Li-based batteries

该项目旨在通过使用最先进的显微镜和原子断层扫描技术来优化全固态电池的设计。对能量密度更高、更安全的可充电电池的需求一直在迅速增长。由于易燃有机液体电解液的处理困难，目前锂电池的安全问题随着尺寸的变化变得更加严重(便携式电子产品的尺寸较小，车辆的尺寸较大)。通过该项目获得的科学知识和工程理解将使电池行业能够生产更高性能的固态电池。

This project aims to optimise the design of all-solid-state batteries by employing state-of-the-art microscopy and atomic tomography techniques. Demand for safer rechargeable batteries with higher energy densities has been rapidly increasing. The safety issues associated with current lithium batteries become more serious with the size change (small for portable electronics and large for vehicles) because of the difficulty in handling of flammable organic liquid electrolytes. The scientific knowledge and engineering understanding acquired through this project will enable the battery industry to produce higher performance solid state batteries.
