Summary: This project aims to develop sodium-ion batteries for renewable energy storage and conversion. Electrical energy storage is a key technology for the integration of renewable energy sources, improved grid reliability, and intelligent management of peak demand. Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as very promising for large scale energy storage applications because of low cost and natural abundance of sodium. Breakthroughs are anticipated by integrating materials architecture design, synthesis of new cathode materials, electrochemical modelling and testing, and fabrication of prototype batteries. The proposed research intends to produce numerous innovative methodologies, techniques, and significant economic and environmental outcomes. IMPACT STATEMENT: The solution to global warming and climate change requires a dramatic shift to renewable energy sources. Sodium-ion batteries have potential to achieve large-scale electrical energy storage for renewable energy sources and smart electricity grids. This will help the Government to meet its renewable energy target, facilitate utilities to improve power quality and reliability, open new industry opportunities, and enable Australia to maintain its high standing in energy research.
