Project: Development and application of large-scale energy storage and UPS systems based on intrinsically safe aqueous batteries

Professor Zhang Qichun, from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, leads a project titled “Development and application of large-scale energy storage and UPS systems based on intrinsically safe aqueous batteries”. His team is dedicated to developing a revolutionary aqueous zinc-ion battery.
To address the potential safety hazards of current lithium batteries and the large size and low power capability of lead-acid batteries, Professor Zhang’s team developed aqueous zinc-based batteries that offer significant advantages, including high safety, high power, low cost, and environmental friendliness. This makes them an ideal choice for next-generation UPS systems for Data Centres, providing an ultimate solution for the safe operation of Artificial Intelligence facilities.
