ARC Research Hub for Safe and Reliable Energy

The @SafeREnergy_Hub is excited to participate in the 5th Intl Conference on Emerging Advanced Nanomaterials (lnkd.in/gd-mfue2). Held in Newcastle, NSW, the conference gathers leading scientists from around the globe who specialise in advanced nano and biomaterials.

This is a reminder that as the number of rechargeable devices in our homes increases, so does the risk of fire. Be sure to follow safety instructions for each device and store both devices and batteries in safe, appropriate locations.

A reminder that our latest research seminar, titled "3D printing Lithium-ion batteries", presented by PhD student Allen Xin Hu starts at 12pm (AEST). We have no doubt this will be an interesting discussion! You can access via deakin.zoom.us/j/81783151415?…

Researchers develop a hybrid solid-state electrolyte that advances all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. This new HSSE combines recycled high-purity silicon with lithium orthosilicate and a polymer matrix, enhanced by ionic liquid electrolytes. More - doi.org/10.1016/j.jpow…

Clear your calendar - our next research seminar has been scheduled! Topic: Low-grade waste heat recovery by thermoelectric technology Presenter: Dr Weidi Liu, @QUT Date: Tuesday, 20th August Time: 12pm (AEST) Access: deakin.zoom.us/j/82318109163?…

The latest battery research suggests that development of all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries is advancing, however there are challenges with a lack of detailed mechanistic understanding and quantitative data on sulfur-based cathode components. More - doi.org/10.1002/adma.2…

On behalf of @uniQLD and SafeREnergy, we invite you to our joint seminar about the current state of developments for Flow Batteries. Presented by Jens Noack, from the German Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology. uqz.zoom.us/j/85650479925 @11am on Thursday 6th June

At our Annual Meeting, PhD students showcased their research findings, which also provided an excellent opportunity to put their presentation skills to the test! We are pleased to advise that students Wangmo and Jaeho Lee won the best student presentation awards - congrats!

As we conclude another insightful annual meeting, our gratitude extends to those whose contributions were instrumental in its success. Thanks to the @NatWoolMuseum who hosted us for this event!

The European Commission announced on Tuesday its target of slashing net #greenhouse gas emissions within the #EU by 90% by the year 2040, as compared to 1990 levels. @EU_Commission #EnergyTransition

Professor Yuan Chen and colleagues from @Sydney_Uni have successfully devised a technique to reclaim 70.46% of lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries. Read more - doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…

The price of lithium took a surprising dive in 2023, which appears to be a continuing trend come early 2024 (mining.com/lithium-price-…). Whether prices continue to rise or fall, the SafeREnergy Hub remains dedicated to advancing research in the development of safer batteries.

Rare Earth materials have unique electronic configurations, however fabrication of low-dimensional forms are challenging. @SafeREnergy_Hub researchers have successfully fabricated nanoscale morphologies of neodymium on graphene-nickel foam substrates. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S23…

Hub researchers from the @Sydney_Uni provide an update on their Zinc-bromine battery research. Is it a safer battery option - read for more details! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

There is massive interest in solid-state lithium battery development, however performance is significantly limited due to voids/gaps inside the solid-state electrolyte and between the SSE-electrode interfaces. Read more about a void-free design for SSLBs sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
