Electrodeposited Cathodes with Tunable Stoichiometry for Alkaline Batteries

对间歇性可再生能源的依赖日益增长，导致金属离子电池被用作最常见的解决方案；但其制造需要多阶段高温处理，导致成本高、质量问题和使用寿命缩短。因此，本项目的目标是通过一种一步、高产量、成本效益高的技术在室温下制造二元和三元氧化物阴极，并将其集成到钠离子电池中，只需最少的工艺和不需要工艺。这种新颖高效的器件制造的预期结果可以带来显著的商业、社会和环境效益，这是由于电池行业的进步和相关就业机会的创造。

The growing dependency on intermittently-available renewable energy sources has resulted in metal-ion batteries being adopted as the most common solution; yet its fabrication requires multi-stage high-temperature processing leading to high costs, quality issues, and reduced service life. Thus, the present project targets the room-temperature fabrication of binary and ternary oxide cathodes by a single-step, high-yield, cost-effective technique and their integration into Na-ion batteries with minimal and no processing. The expected outcomes from this novel and efficient device fabrication can lead to significant commercial, social, and environmental benefits owing to the advancement of the battery industry and associated job creation.
