.A UNSW SMaRT Centre research study has demonstrated The study showed that a simple carbon coating formed from glucose can transform low-cost iron oxide into a significantly more effective supercapacitor electrode.
A UNSW SMaRT Centre research study has demonstrated that waste disposable masks can be transformed into a valuable energy-storage material, activated carbon, instead of being sent to landfill or incineration
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers' have demonstrated a new role for waste carbon as a key storage factor for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, not just using carbon for existing sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers' have developed a novel carbon material, called "microzonal carbon" synthesized from waste hard rubber as a new type of anode material for next-generation lithium ion batteries (LIBs)
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers have had published a study revealing multiple research findings around valuable new uses for textile and other wastes as sources of activated carbon for essential “purification” materials
There is growing interest in the use of coffee grounds to produce materials for advanced batteries, with some recent scientific studies showing significant advances in the search for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions using biomass
