Description

Sustainable Manufacturing of Bipolar Plates for Redox Flow Batteries. This project aims to develop composite bipolar plates for all-iron redox flow batteries, a critical component in renewable energy storage systems. The research will explore sustainable, cost-effective materials such as biomass carbon and recycled plastics and new manufacturing methods to enhance battery performance and durability. The project will help reduce Australia’s reliance on imports and promote local value-added manufacturing. It also addresses global energy challenges by improving energy storage technologies, crucial for integrating renewable energy into power grids and achieving net-zero emissions. The outcomes will benefit both the Australian manufacturing industry and broader community through sustainable energy solutions.. Scheme: Mid-Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Bin Luo
