Project description
High-performance aluminium batteries for a low-carbon economy
The transition to renewable energy sources demands advanced energy storage solutions beyond lithium-ion batteries. Aluminium solid-state rechargeable batteries present a promising alternative, but are constrained by the limitations of current electrolyte systems. The urgency lies in developing solid-state electrolytes that can replace flammable liquid counterparts, ensuring safety and performance. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MOF AlSolidBat project aims to revolutionise battery technology by leveraging Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to create safer, more efficient solid electrolytes for aluminium batteries. Targeting cost-effective, high-performance MOF synthesis and integrating ionic liquids into MOFs, the project seeks to replace conventional electrolytes with flexible, eco-friendly alternatives.
Objective
Aluminium solid-state rechargeable batteries are promising candidate for post-lithium ion batteries. The electrolyte system of rechargeable aluminium batteries is an urgent research problem that is preventing its widespread implementation. The prime aim of the research proposal is electrochemical interfacial engineering of metal organic frame work (MOFs) based electrolyte towards aluminium solid-state battery applications. Study of MOFs are key topic in materials science sector over the past decade for facilitating next generation nano-electronic devices. Tuning the porosity of MOF can provide controllable functionality - an ideal platform for investigating the underlying mechanism of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and their ion conduction and the structure property relationships. This research proposal will address the challenges in the conventional liquid electrolytes and existing SSEs. The potential impact of the project proposal are traditional liquid electrolytes and conventional inorganic SSEs can be replaced by flexible, cost-effective and high porous MOF based SSEs for high performance and environment friendly aluminium batteries. The specific research objective of the project are,
O1. Facile synthesis of cost-effective and high-performance nanostructured MOFs
O2. Encapsulating an infinitesimal ionic liquid (IL) into MOFs to construct an IL@MOF solid electrolyte
O3. Understanding the inherent electrochemical interface and studying the underlying structure-property relationship of IL@MOF based SSEs
O4. Demonstrating a cost effective and environment friendly aluminium solid state battery with high specific power density using synthesized solid electrolyte
Research results will be published in reputed high impact open access international journals and conferences. This project is in line with the EU strategy for ‘the energy storage devices for the transition to a low carbon economy based on renewable energy source’
