A new partnership between Australia's national science agency, CSIRO and Japanese specialist chemical manufacturer, Piotrek, will see Australian-developed battery technologies commercialised globally within the next five years.

Deakin is partnering with AusNet Services and Mondo to develop an industrial-scale microgrid energy system to provide an integrated research and education platform, and contribute to the University's sustainability goals.

A project funded by the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund on new materials for large-scale, high-performance batteries has been successful in the development of novel polymer electrolytes and anode materials.

A team of Deakin researchers is working on ways to power the next generation in prosthetic limbs.​

World class research centre BatTRI-Hub is set to create a new generation of batteries.

BatTRI-Hub continues research into the development of the next generation of ‘beyond lithium-ion’ battery technologies which could change how we use power in the future.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Deakin University and Hydro-Québec IREC on December 9 2016 to formalise the collaboration between Hydro-Québec and Deakin's Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM). The common goal is to provide a basis for licensing and technology transfer of lithium metal polymer batteries and for the development and prototyping of sodium batteries.
