Description

Design of novel polymer electrolytes for solid state sodium batteries. Solid-state sodium-ion batteries can provide a cheaper, safer, and greener alternative solution to store energy. This project aims to investigate the design of advanced polymer electrolyte materials to address the challenge for the development of all solid-state sodium batteries. New understandings in polymer chemistry, interfacial properties and cell performance will be gained through co-active approaches combining molecular simulations, experimental characterizations, and battery prototyping. This project will provide significant benefits in developing new functional materials, new knowledge, and advanced battery techniques, benefiting Australia’s clean energy storage sector..
