Sodium-Ion Battery: From Material Synthesis, Structure Regulation to Practical Engineering
You are invited to a SafeREnergy Seminar
Date: Wednesday 26 April 2023
Time: 12noon – 1pm (AEST)
Sodium-Ion Battery: From Material Synthesis, Structure Regulation to Practical Engineering
Dr. Jian Peng, Institute for Superconducting & Electronic Materials, University of Wollongong The exploration and utilization of renewable energy to generate electricity can effectively reduce reliance on fossil fuels and create a sustainable future for all human beings. However, renewables are always intermittent, which require advanced energy storage and conversion systems, for example, rechargeable batteries, to provide a continuous power supply. Sodium-ion battery is one kind of such alternatives, particularly for large-scale energy storage applications as the abundant sodium resources can significantly lower the cost. In this talk, Dr. Jian Peng will present a rational design of low-cost Prussian blue analogs as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries with low cost, high voltage, as well as enhanced energy density and extended cycle lifespan. Synthesis chemistry, structural engineering and electrochemical characterization techniques will be discussed towards the practical applications of sodium-ion batteries
Dr. Jian Peng is an associate research fellow at the Institute for Superconducting & Electronic Materials, University of Wollongong, where he received his Ph.D. in 2022. Jian’s main research field is on rechargeable battery system, especially on sodium-ion batteries. In the past 5 years, he has published over 60 peer-reviewed journals with citations of ~2300 and h-index of 29 (Google Scholar). Among these publications, he has published 19 papers as the first/corresponding author, including Adv. Mater. (1), Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (3), Energy Environ. Sci. (1), Adv. Energy Mater. (5), Adv. Funct. Mater. (2), Nano Lett. (1), five of which are highly cited papers. He is the young editorial board member of Nano Research Energy and guest editor of Molecules. Furthermore, he is the recipient of the 2021 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self- financed Students Abroad (Extraordinary Potential Prize), and Postgraduate Research Award 2021/2022 of the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering. He was granted the ICDD 2021 Ludo Frevel Crystallography Scholarship Award, one of the six global recipients all over the world
