Functionalising sustainable natural binders for energy storage devices

该项目旨在生产低成本的储能设备，以满足电器、电动汽车和智能电网的能源需求和安全要求。高成本和不可再生资源以及现有储能设备的安全问题阻碍了便携式电子设备和车辆的电气化以及间歇性太阳能和风能的使用。该项目将使用可持续的天然聚合物开发绿色电极技术，以大大降低生产成本和环境成本。实验和计算模拟相结合的深入理解将有助于制定实现低成本、长寿命和安全电池的策略。

This project aims to produce low-cost energy storage devices to meet the energy demands and safety requirements of electric appliances, electric vehicles and smart electricity grids. High-cost and non-regenerable resources and existing energy storage devices’ safety issues have hindered the electrification of portable electronic devices and vehicles and use of intermittent solar and wind energy. This project will use sustainable natural polymers to develop green electrode technologies for manufacturing batteries with greatly reduced production and environmental cost. The in-depth understandings from the combination of experiments and computation simulations will help create strategies to realise low cost, long-life and safe batteries.
