Welcome to LBRI
Welcome to LBRI
We are a battery research and innovation laboratory located in the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW Sydney. Our team specializes in diverse aspects of electrochemical energy storage research. While achieving competitive performance across families of electrochemical storage devices is the broad focus, a realistic understanding of those systems, which is crucial for translating materials and component level performance into device-level metrics, constitutes the core motivation.
Key areas of research expertise:
Functional materials development and optimization for battery energy storage
Solid-state batteries
Solid inorganic and polymer electrolytes
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries
Li-ion, Li-S, Na-ion and multivalent batteries
Structure-performance relationship in battery materials
Operando electrochemical studies (XRD, UV-Vis, Raman, etc.)
Cell design & development
Fundamental electrochemical investigation
Nanomaterials and composites; solid-state & inorganic chemistry.
