Energy Materials

Battery materials, hydrogen energy materials and fuel cell materials are playing an increasing role in modern society. They make portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers smaller and lighter. They also provide power for the new generation of electric vehicles. Energy Materials Research Group at UoW was established in 1994 to develop high energy rechargeable batteries. The main interest of this group is to research and develop innovative technology for new generation of energy storage with high energy density, long life cycle and low cost. This group has attracted a number of industries to support research work, including Sons of Gwalia Ltd, OMG Ltd, Lexel Battery Ltd, Suppo Ltd, Zhuhai Taiyi Battery Co Ltd, Electric Transit Pty Ltd and Australian Battery Technology Ltd. The research programs are:
