Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, say they have developed lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries that have twice the energy density of traditional lithium-ion batteries, but that is only half of the story. The other news is that those lithium sulfur batteries can charge and discharge faster than conventional batteries … [continued]
What better way to spend a hard lockdown in Victoria, Australia, and Sunway, Malaysia, than by submitting a proposal for Elon Musk’s $100 million XPRIZE in carbon removal. The team of researchers from Monash University (pictured above) has been awarded $250,000 from the Musk Foundation to continue their work in … [continued]
Researchers in Australia have devised a new MOF filter that could greatly speed up lithium production from brine pools and have lower costs.
Research at Monash University in Australia led to the development of a very high-performance and energy efficient lithium-sulfur battery. Dr. Mahdokht Shaibani, a Research Fellow in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Monash University, who also held a leadership role on the project, answered some questions about the work for CleanTechnica.
An international team of researchers has created a new class of materials called metal-organic frameworks that offer the prospect of making abundant supplies of clean drinking water and mining precious metals from sea water cheaply and without large amounts of energy.
Researchers at Monash University, led by Professor Dan Li of the Department of Materials Engineering, have developed a graphene-based supercapacitor (sometimes these are called ultracapacitors) which can achieve a volumetric energy density similar to that of a lead-acid battery. Volumetric energy density is the ratio of the supercapacitors’ energy storage … [continued]
This article has been reposted from Green Building Elements.An entirely new strategy for engineering graphene-based supercapacitors has been developed by researchers at Monash University — potentially leading the way to powerful next-generation renewable energy storage systems. The new strategy also opens up the possibility of using graphene-based supercapacitors in electric … [continued]
This article was originally published on the website of CSIRO. Scientists have produced the largest flexible, plastic solar cells in Australia – 10 times the size of what they were previously able to – thanks to a new solar cell printer that has been installed at CSIRO. The printer has … [continued]
