Project Member(s): Wang, G.
Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Research Council (ARC Discovery Projects)
Start year: 2010
Summary: Global warming and climate change have triggered an intensive demand for clean energy soucre4s to replace fossil fuels. Graphene, as an emerging novel material, can serve as a medium for highly efficient energy storage and conversion in electrochemical devices. This project will lead to the development of novel renewable energy storage and conversion technology for transportation and distributed energy supplies. The outcomes of this research will increase our national energy security, facilitate achievement of the Federal government's target of 20% renewable energy in 2020, and bring significant economic and environmental benefits for Australia.
