Enabling Rechargeable Aluminium-Organic Batteries (2025-2028)
Abstract
This project aims to advance aluminium battery technology by exploring high-capacity organic cathodes and engineering stable aluminium anodes. Battery technology is critical for the clean energy transformation in Australia. Aluminium batteries are promising candidates to compete with problematic lithium-ion batteries and need further optimisation. This project plans to progress optimisation of the battery interfaces by controlling the optimum chemistry of organic cathodes and aluminium anode protocols. Completion of this project expects to generate advanced battery technologies that can enhance Australia's global battery market presence and optimise renewable energy resource utilisation.
