Funded Activity Summary
Developing advanced potassium-sulfur batteries for scalable energy storage. Potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries are recognised as a promising energy storage technology for large-scale applications, due to their high theoretical capacity, low toxicity and the low cost of both potassium and sulfur. However, their grid-scale development is plagued by safety hazards and fast capacity fade. This project aims to address these challenges by developing atomic-level engineering of host materials for sulfur, K metal anode and solid electrolyte. The outcomes of this project will provide increased understanding of the mechanism for K-S batteries and novel strategies for their development, placing Australia at the forefront of K-S batteries for scalable battery research and supporting our cutting-edge energy storage technology.Funded Activity Details
