ARC Discovery Project - Solid-State Battery Interface Design (SS-BID)
This research project aims to use the world's best performing solid-state ion conductors to develop next generation solid-state batteries.

Boron-rich electrolytes will be paired with lithium metal anodes to construct batteries that are more energy dense, safer, have wider operational temperature windows, and aim to be lower cost than existing Li-ion batteries.

The current roadblock for these batteries lies in the poorly performing interfaces between anode, electrolyte and cathode.

This research aims to develop new strategies to overcome these barriers and perform world-class measurement techniques to understand and optimise solid-state batteries to provide a commercially viable energy storage solution.

The project will be undertaken within the
