Description

Cobalt-free nickel-based lithium-ion battery cathodes for electric vehicles. Current electric vehicles encounter challenges related to range anxiety and price premiums, primarily stemming from the limitations of lithium-ion batteries. Working with the key industry partner, this project aims to develop low-cost, high-energy, and durable lithium-ion batteries to advance electric vehicle technology through the creation of competitive cobalt-free, ultrahigh-nickel battery cathode materials. This project expects to elevate the technology readiness level of this promising candidate from 3 to 6 and expedite its integration into electric vehicle models. This project offers substantial opportunities for Australia to establish global leadership in battery manufacturing and to add high values to Australia’s mining products.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: Dr Gemeng Liang
