Chemical and structural design for high power energy storage materials

该项目旨在通过探索新兴的弛豫反铁电（RAFE）材料，开发具有高功率和高储能能力的新材料。通过研究内部化学和结构因素，以及它们在不同长度尺度上的相互作用，该项目将首先解决目前RAFEs中的模糊性，然后确定性能的关键因素，以便更好地设计和开发新的高性能储能材料。该项目的成果将推进对铁材料的认识，为可再生能源、电动汽车和脉冲功率装置等先进电力系统提供新的候选材料，并有可能彻底改变大功率储能技术。

This project aims to develop new materials with both high power and high energy storage capabilities by exploring emerging relaxor antiferroelectric (RAFE) materials. Through investigating the internal chemical and structural factors, and their interactions at different length scales, this project will first solve the current ambiguities in RAFEs and then identify critical factors for properties to better design and develop new high-performance energy storage materials. The outcomes of this project will advance the knowledge of ferroic materials, provide new candidates for advanced electrical systems such as renewable energy, electric vehicles and pulsed power devices, and potentially revolutionise high power energy storage technologies.
