New paper accepted in JACS!
We report a new block copolymer electrolyte for sodium metal batteries with 3D ion transport channels, >5000 h cycling, & >91% retention after 1000 cycles.
📄 Morphology-driven design = safer, sustainable Na-metal batteries!

@SeoEileenS Great news - congrats Eileen!!

[UQ News @UQ_News]

A project at @AIBNatUQ has developed a filter to remove harmful PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ from contaminated water.

And @CZhang0318 is testing the material in renewable batteries.
