Descripción del proyecto
The aftermath of climate change & energy crisis are acknowledged as one of the most demanding socioeconomic challenges of modern times. Frontier energy storage technologies are crucial to develop to ensure clean & affordable supply of energy. Current Li-ion technology (LIB) is approaching its limit, whether concerning performance metrics or environmental impact. In turn, rechargeable Mg or Ca-based batteries show great theoretical promises in all these aspects. However, unavailability of suitable high voltage cathode materials with practical power & energy metrics limits their application. In this proposal, we will explore a novel type of 1D linear coordination polymer (CP)-based cathode material for high-energy reversible Mg- & Ca-ion storage (CiPBAT). Our innovative approach is to synthesize anionic CPs in discharged state (containing Mg- or Ca- cation) like a typical LIB inorganic cathode. We will synthesize conjugated sulfonamide-based cathode materials, followed by a consolidated understanding of the electrode reactivity through structure-performance correlation by physicochemical, electrochemical & operando techniques. Final objective here is to construct prototype CiPBAT pouch cells that can operate at high voltage (~2-3 V for Mg & ~3-4 V for Ca) with good cycling stability of atleast 250 cycles. By combining my strong expertise in core electrochemistry with excellent background of host supervisor on organic battery materials and secondment lab on divalent battery chemistry, the project will be effectively implemented. The successful completion of this project will also lead to constructing the first Mg & Ca-metal, but also, anode free prototype cells. This will boost the sustainable all-organic divalent battery research to a new level and replace the need of scarce, expensive & controversial supply of raw materials in current systems. Finally, this fellowship will provide me with great opportunities to achieve professional excellence & research independency.
