Low cost energy density anode

项目摘要

This project is to investigate the feasibility of bulk synthesis of a low cost high energy density anode for sodium ion batteries (NIB). Specifically, the research will involve synthesis of nanoparticle materials (at UCL) which will then be made into small rechargeable sodium ion batteries and tested in SHARP uk labs. The project will then involve scale-up of the highest performing materials and they will be made into larger cells which will validate the materials on scale-up. Until recently, NIB technology had been neglected and work focussed on Li ion based systems. Developments in materials chemistry and electrode fabrication are necessary to ensure NIB is a commercially viable alternative to Li ion batteries (LIB). The invention of new materials for use as anodes in these batteries is an important step in preparing the technology for market. We have identified a range of materials which we believe are suitable for use as high energy density anodes. We propose to synthesise a number of these materials, using state of the art synthesis facilities, and subject the new materials to extensive testing and optimise the most suitable materials for use in an energy storage device. As well as developing an optimised anode material for NIB (as well as validate new manufacturing facilities up to pilot plant scale) we anticipate that the materials developed as part of this project are likely to find uses in other technologies, both new and existing, e.g. LIB and supercapacitors.

该项目是为了研究低成本高能密度阳极（NIB）的大量合成的可行性。具体而言，该研究将涉及合成纳米颗粒材料（在UCL），然后将其制成可充电的小钠离子电池，并在尖锐的英国实验室进行测试。然后，该项目将涉及性能最高的材料的扩展，并将它们制成较大的单元，以验证规模上的材料。直到最近，NIB技术一直被忽视，并以基于李离子的系统为重点。材料化学和电极制造方面的发展是必要的，以确保Nib是李离子电池（LIB）的商业上可行的替代品。在这些电池中用作阳极的新材料的发明是准备市场技术的重要一步。我们已经确定了一系列材料，我们认为这些材料适合用作高能密度阳极。我们建议使用最先进的合成设施合成许多此类材料，并将新材料进行广泛的测试，并优化最合适的材料，以在储能设备中使用。除了为NIB开发优化的阳极材料（以及验证新的制造设施至试验工厂规模），我们预计作为该项目的一部分开发的材料很可能会在其他新技术和现有技术中找到用途，例如自由和超级电容器。
