Description

Enabling Design of New-Generation SiC Anode Battery Technology. This project aligned with Sicona Battery Technologies (Sicona) is to develop next generation Si-composite anode technology of lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries that enable electric-mobility and storage of renewable energy. Understanding the interactions between these anodes and binders/electrolytes in the battery will allow us to address the industry challenge of faster charging and higher capacity batteries. This proposal aims to identify the interplay among the components in Si-C anodes and to apply these insights to the development of new anode protocols. The superior battery technology produced in this industry/academic research collaboration will deliver Australia a competitive advantage in battery evolution in the future. .
