This project aims to develop a new generation of high performance and low-cost cathode materials for rechargeable aluminium ion batteries. To address the low capacity issue of current cathodes, this project anticipates generating new knowledge in the material design of novel graphene materials. Expected outcomes of this project include industrial adaptable manufacturing processing and advanced materials for aluminium ion batteries.
