Obrovac Lab receives NSERC/Novonix Alliance Grant Funding Award



Dr. Mark Obrovac, a Professor in 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Faculty of Science, is the recipient of a $3.3 million research funding award from the听听and Novonix, a world-class battery materials and technology company, for research that will help revolutionize the way batteries are made.

The funding is made possible through NSERC鈥檚 Alliance Grant program. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.听

Dr. Obrovac's research is focused on making higher performing batteries that cost less and have a lower environmental impact than current technologies. His research team has been able to synthesize highly engineered particles by consolidating fine, even submicron particles into particles that are tens of microns. This innovative process, called dry particle microgranulation or DPMG, allows for the type of precise control of particle internal composition variation, shape, and morphology that is not possible by previous methods.听

They have also discovered that Li-ion battery graphite and metal oxide particles can be made at 100% yield with no water or waste. This process could be used in many fields to reduce the cost and environmental impact of particle synthesis and enable the synthesis in bulk of new, highly engineered particles.听

And, in a unique twist, the graphite spherical particles they are creating are layered like an onion. Such "onion-type" graphite spheres have previously only been observed in inter-stellar space, or made artificially in micrograms. This unique material could lead to better performing Li-ion batteries, and is highly desirable for powdered lubricants.听

Quotes:

鈥淚 am excited to embark on this new research program. Rarely do we find paths that lead to materials that are not only more sustainable and less expensive, but also potentially have improved characteristics over current materials. The possibilities for new materials synthesis are enormous for the battery field and in other fields too. I am looking forward to continue our exciting to work with Novonix in this new research program, especially in bringing these discoveries out of the lab and into industrial use which presents new challenges as these processes are utilized on a larger scale.鈥
