Description

High-energy cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are failing to meet the needs of developing technologies due to their limited energy densities, stemming primarily from cathode materials in use. This project aims to develop high-energy and low-cost Li-rich manganese-based oxide cathodes for next-generation LIBs, and pursues an integrated strategy from material synthesis to full battery performance optimisation to promote their practical application. This project will innovate in modification strategies and structure designs to tackle their existing issues. Project success will position Australia as a leader in the development of high-performance battery technologies, particularly for electric vehicles, contributing to both economic and environmental benefits.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: Dr Gemeng Liang
