Griffith University is taking on Tesla in developing powerful battery storage solutions that change the way people use energy.
Researchers are developing low-cost and high performance energy storage systems that will allow people to sell power back to the grid when tariffs are the highest.
Professor Eddie Zhang and Professor Junwei Lu have teamed up to combine their expertise to come up with a comprehensive energy solution and management system.
The battery system using the advanced Si and aluminium electrodes developed, as well as the innovative binding technologies developed by Professor Zhang’s team at Griffith would not only boost the energy storage capacity by more than one fold, but also convert the current lithium ion battery cell manufacturing.
Currently materials used are expensive and toxic but Griffith’s solution is low-cost and environmentally friendly.
Griffith University also has six people doing electric car research, including developing a wireless power charger.
People would be able to store their
