The development of hard carbon anode materials for stationary rechargeable sodium and potassium ion batteries remains a major technological challenge. This project aims to utilise two very different biomass feedstock sources, sorghum and macadamia shell agricultural waste to manufacture low-cost, high-performance carbon anodes. Current carbon anode materials such as graphite or carbonised sucrose, pitch or phenolics suffer from poor performance, high cost and/or low carbon yield and device durability issues. This project will investigate combinations of biomass precursors, tailored graphene and carbon alloys in order to significantly enhance anode performance while minimising cost.

用于固定可充电钠和钾离子电池的硬碳阳极材料的开发仍然是一个主要的技术挑战。该项目旨在利用两种非常不同的生物质原料来源，高粱和澳洲甲性胺壳农业废物来生产低成本，高性能的碳阳极。当前的碳阳极材料，例如石墨或碳化的蔗糖，沥青或酚类的性能差，成本高和/或低碳产量以及设备耐用性问题。该项目将研究生物质前体，量身定制的石墨烯和碳合金的组合，以显着提高阳极性能，同时最大程度地降低成本。
