Funded Activity Summary

Advanced sodium batteries using 2D material interphases with ionic liquids. This project aims to stabilise alkali metal electrodes that are necessary for the development of advanced batteries by using interphase engineering mechanisms to protect electrodes from unfavourable reactions. This project will enable the use of high-energy and safer anodes, essential in promoting better use of renewable energy in the future. This is expected to contribute to fundamental knowledge and have real commercial prospects for sodium batteries via improved artificial protective interface design. This project has many potential benefits, such as the development of new materials and processes needed to produce safe, high-capacity batteries with applications in both smart-grid, and behind-the-meter stationary storage.
