Project summary
My PhD research aims to develop, analyse, and apply novel aqueous suspension electrodes to enhance the performance and feasibility of grid-scale energy storage systems, particularly in low-temperature environments. The study includes electrode fabrication, battery assembly, and detailed characterization. A practical device is demonstrated for enhanced energy storage in cold climates. Additionally, the research explores the ion-water-carbon interactions through experimental and computational studies, providing insights into the electrodes' microscale dynamics, crucial for future technological improvements in energy systems.
