This Training Centre aims to transform Australia’s battery and resource industry by building advanced manufacturing capability for recycling mixed battery materials, promoting 2nd-life re-use, redesigning high performance batteries towards a battery circular economy, and advancing the supporting regulatory landscape. The research will address the challenges associated with battery recycling, deliver industrial demonstrations and promotion policies, and create a dynamic skilled workforce. Outcomes are expected to shape a distinctive battery recycling model that shifts Australia to zero battery waste to landfill; establish a profitable and self-sustaining onshore industry chain; and help ensure the future of Australia’s energy security.Read moreRead less
Targeted electrolyte design for high energy aqueous batteries. The Project aims to develop a new generation, high-energy aqueous battery. A range of new aqueous electrolytes with large working window at low concentration will be designed to replace traditional, flammable and toxic organic electrolytes, and; low-cost and multi-electron reaction materials will be developed as high-capacity electrodes to replace traditional intercalation-type materials. The Project will establish the structure-prop ....Targeted electrolyte design for high energy aqueous batteries. The Project aims to develop a new generation, high-energy aqueous battery. A range of new aqueous electrolytes with large working window at low concentration will be designed to replace traditional, flammable and toxic organic electrolytes, and; low-cost and multi-electron reaction materials will be developed as high-capacity electrodes to replace traditional intercalation-type materials. The Project will establish the structure-property relationship for electrolytes and interphases via advanced characterization(s) and computation. The new battery will be safe, energetic and sustainable for the billion-dollar energy storage market for electric vehicle, and smart-grid whilst addressing concurrently battery safety and boosted energy-density.Read moreRead less

ARC Centre of Excellence for Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide. This Centre aims to advance carbon dioxide electrochemistry innovations to enable the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable products and transition Australia to a carbon-neutral economy. This Centre expects to generate new knowledge using experimental and computational approaches to develop systems-level understanding to furnish industry-ready carbon dioxide utilisation technologies. Expected outcomes include enhanced capacity through collaborations establishing the Centre as an international hub for research, training, technology translation and strategic advice for stakeholders and policymakers. This should accelerate Australia’s progress towards net zero emissions targets and grow a sustainable economy and create future jobs.Read moreRead less
