This project aims to develop a separator (membrane) for zinc ion batteries. The membrane is based on nanocellulose derived from seaweeds and provided by SCION. Students will investigate the functionalization and modification of nanocellulose and how the modified nanocellulose can be integrated into common electrolytes. Students will undertake the materials synthesis and characterisation, as well as the electrochemical performance of the assembled zinc-ion battery cells. Students will be supported by an experienced post-doctoral fellow.
