Abstract:
Energy storage has become a game changer in entire energy system for integration of renewable energy to power supply system. Rapid increase in renewable energy leads to smart buildings, smart grid and smart cities but these are impossible without energy storage. Significant advances in development of strategies and approaches on novel materials research for energy storage applications have been made. These include band engineering for alteration of electronic properties; Strain engineering for both electronic strain and structure strain; Additive & subtractive engineering for controlled growth of electrode materials; Compositing; Dimension manipulation; York-shell sphere/Core-shell wire/tube/fabires/ribbons; Surface engineering; Hybridisation at materials & cells level. Examples using these strategies will be presented. ISEM has jointly registered Australian Innovation Industry Park (AIIP) in Wollongong to accelerate research industry transformation processes in the renewable energy, smart grid, energy storage packs, heavy electric vehicles and devices for construction and mining.
