Regulating Interfacial Chemistry for High-energy Zinc-air Batteries

Start year: 2025

Summary: This project aims to develop advanced zinc-air battery technology to address the growing demand for sustainable energy storage. The project is expected to generate advanced knowledge in the area of materials science and energy technology, and to advance the development of renewable zinc-air batteries. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of a cut-edge zinc anode protection scheme, innovative electrocatalyst design concepts and synthesis protocols, and enhanced capacity to build interdisciplinary collaborations. This should provide significant benefits, such as tackling Australia’s energy crisis and cementing its global leadership in the field of energy storage.
