Nathan Webster (CSIRO)25/11/2015, 14:00Energy MaterialsOralThis presentation will describe the quantitative measurement, by *in situ* X-ray diffraction (XRD) and subsequent Rietveld-based quantitative phase analysis and thickness calculations, of the evolution of the lead dioxide and lead sulfate surface layers formed on a number of lead alloy anodes under simulated copper electrowinning conditions. A novel electrochemical flow cell is also described....Go to contribution page

Dr Docheon Ahn (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory)25/11/2015, 14:30Energy MaterialsOralAg-embedded LiMnPO4 (LMP) cathode was synthesized by solid-state reaction using 1 wt% Ag precursor. Structure, morphology, and electrical conductivity studies of Ag-embedded LMP were performed by high resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and four probe measurements. An Ag nanoparticle (~ 26 nm)...Go to contribution page

Ms Madeleine Dupont (University of Newcastle)25/11/2015, 14:50Energy MaterialsOralEnergy storage devices are an increasingly important technology due to the growing demand for energy. This demand, combined with the depletion of non-renewable resources, has increased the need for renewable energy and energy-saving technologies. These systems rely heavily on energy storage. Renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power, require storage to mitigate the effects of a...Go to contribution page

Dr David Jenkins (CSIRO Digital Productivity Flagship)25/11/2015, 15:10Energy MaterialsOralMetallurgical coal is a major Australian commodity export, worth more than A$20b *per annum*. It is used to make coke, a vital component in steelmaking. High quality coke is important for successful operation of modern ironmaking blast furnaces. Crucial to coke quality is the strength and reactivity of this porous composite material. There is a close relationship between coke quality and...Go to contribution page
