The proposed research project aims to investigate and develop advanced materials for energy storage to improve the efficiency and scalability of energy storage technologies. The project will focus on developing novel materials, such as high-capacity electrodes and solid-state electrolytes, to increase the energy density, power density, and cycle life of energy storage devices.
The project will be conducted in several phases. The first phase will involve a comprehensive literature review of existing energy storage materials and their limitations. This will be followed by the selection and optimization of new materials and device structures, such as lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and all-solid-state batteries.
The second phase will focus on the development and optimization of manufacturing processes that can produce large-scale, high-quality, and low-cost energy storage devices. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, spray-coating, and roll-to-roll processing, will be explored and optimized.
The potential applications of this research project are numerous. The developed energy storage devices can be used in a variety of settings, such as homes, businesses, and power grids, to store renewable energy and improve the reliability and resilience of the energy system. The technology can also be integrated into other products, such as electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and wearable devices. Ultimately, this research project has the potential to advance the field of energy storage, promote sustainable energy production and consumption, and mitigate climate change.
