Layered and scrolled carbon materials for advancing energy storage systems

本项目旨在通过设计同时控制石墨层间距离、离子扩散路径长度和表面官能团密度的模型碳系统来揭示碳电极的结构-性质关系。该项目预计将产生关于微型超级电容器和钠离子电池充电机制的新知识，以及用于新兴便携式电子产品和可再生能源存储应用的技术。预计将展示高性能和可持续的储能设备。这将有助于推动澳大利亚在全球可再生能源市场中的突出地位，并朝着更可持续的经济和生活方式迈进。

This project aims to reveal the structure–property relations in carbon electrodes through the design of model carbon systems that allow the simultaneous control of graphitic interlayer distance, ion diffusion pathway length, and surface functional group density. The project is expected to generate new knowledge on the charging mechanisms of micro-supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries and technologies for emerging portable electronics and renewable energy storage applications. The demonstration of high-performance and sustainable energy storage devices is anticipated. This will help to advance the prominence of Australia in the global renewable energy market and the move towards more sustainable economies and lifestyles.
