Li-ion battery separator material recovery and utilisation

Sodium battery is a promising alternative for energy storage if precious metal prices for making LIB remain high. This Project will mainly focus on the recovery of LIB separator material and explore economic applications of the recovered separator materials, such as turning it into high-value hard carbon for making sodium battery anode material.

Compostable plastics

This Project aims to design and develop compostable plastics. The expected outcome is to produce new materials and compositions from sustainable sources to make plastics. This could benefit Australia to find new ways to make plastics that are sustainable and circular.
