Project Abstract
Fuelled by an ever increasing demand for electrical energy to power modern life, Li ion batteries have been the primary energy storage device over the last three decades. However, low abundance, uneven distribution of lithium and cobalt in the earth crust and the associated cost of these materials make it a necessity to explore alternative battery chemistries based on other elements beyond lithium. This proposal aims to make a transformative leap forward towards the development of the next generation of batteries beyond lithium.
