Description

Biomass-Derived Materials for High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries. Agricultural biomass is an abundant, low-cost, renewable resource. This Fellowship project aims to develop sustainable, high performance anode materials from agricultural biomass for lithium ion battery applications. It will generate new knowledge in developing multi-product biorefinery processes and technologies for the synthesis of biomass-derived lithium ion battery anodes, enhance cross-disciplinary research collaborations, and strengthen engagement with industry partners. These outcomes will support the establishment of a secure, low-carbon-footprint battery supply chain in Australia and foster the growth of new low-carbon industries that manufacture sustainable chemicals and materials from agricultural biomass in regional Australia. . Scheme: Mid-Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: Prof Zhanying Zhang
