Australian Research Council (ARC) launches the ARC Research Hub for advanced manufacturing with 2D Materials. The hub aims to develop the application of 2D materials for water treatment, batteries, functional paints and coatings and other key areas of economic and technological interest.
High-powered & Low-cost Supercapacitors for EVs
“
The ARC proudly supports research excellence that positively impacts everyday Australians and this is evident in the establishment of the ARC Research Hub for advanced manufacturing with 2D Materials,” said Dr. Richard Johnson, deputy chief executive officer, ARC.
“
Among the research outcomes expected to emerge from the hub will be high-powered, low-cost graphene-based supercapacitors, capable of storing energy for use in electric vehicles, as well as improvements in the supply chain of materials used in the manufacturing of these devices, allowing industry to thrive,” continued Dr. Johnson.
The research hub, led by Monash University, is expected to create new business opportunities, jobs, and revenue streams in technologically advanced products by leveraging these new and unique applications.
“
This research hub has created an environment for researchers and industry partners to work together to deliver transformative outcomes in advanced manufacturing, helping Australian business to generate greater economic output in this fast-growing market,” added Dr. Johnson.
The ARC is investing more than $4.3 million over 5 years under the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hubs scheme.
