Chair’s Report

2020 was indeed a momentous year. Momentous, because of the COVID pandemic and its impact, momentous because of the incredible response of our staff and students – which has enabled research and research training to largely continue and increasingly recover – and momentous, because we have built our success even further than before.

This has only been possible because of ever-growing participation by our researchers in external opportunities, while working hard to maintain quality and success. In addition to the enormous challenges of working from home, many Deakin researchers have pivoted their activities to focus on the urgent circumstances. Working together – often across disciplines and with partners in industry, other institutions and government – they established processes to understand the pandemic’s immediate, short-term and long-term implications and find creative solutions to reduce its impact. Early on in the pandemic, IFM scientists, working with their industry partner, quickly turned their efforts to creating several hundred litres of lab-made sanitiser to provide a stockpile for frontline workers. Other research

has focused on developing virus and bacteria resistant textiles and surfaces.I congratulate all the researchers and teams who have achieved success this year through grants, awards and professional recognition. Among them, IFM researcher Dr Dan Liu received an ARC Future Fellowship and Professor Ying Chen and his team were successful in their bid for an ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Safe and Reliable Energy.At Deakin, we are doing our utmost to contribute to a sustainable future. Our new Hycel Technology Hub in Warrnambool is seeking to drive Australia’s emerging hydrogen economy, and our microgrid solar farm is now contributing 50-60 per cent of the energy needs of our Waurn Ponds campus. They will both be tremendous resources for the energy industry, researchers and students developing solutions for the future.There have been many other achievements at Deakin this year – from thriving new businesses at the ManuFutures hub, including FormFlow, which had its origins in IFM – to a record number of Deakin PhD scholarships awarded and new Alfred Deakin postdoctoral fellowships for outstanding early career researchers. So, reflecting on 2020, IFM continued to do what it does so well – perform research and deliver outcomes with societal benefits while providing excellent training to its cohort of higher degree researchers. The number of papers published by IFM researchers in high-ranking journals continued to increase, in line with the trend over recent years. IFM continues to play a leading role in the development of the University’s Circular Economy Initiative and I look forward to sharing more news as this continues to take shape in 2021.The past year has shown us the importance of a strong and vibrant manufacturing industry in Australia. It reinforces the significance of the research and innovation being carried out at IFM to our stakeholders and communities.

Director’s Report

What a year! It is said that true colours come out in adversity and this was certainly the case for IFM in 2020. Staff rallied strongly. A crisp customer focus came to the fore. And new ways of delivering on our commitments were developed.

In 2020, we continued to push the boundaries of material performance and to imagine and test new ways to integrate materials into a circular economy.For example, smart textile treatments to fight viruses are being developed by IFM researchers working with industry partner HeiQ. New families of novel inhibitors to prevent corrosion were developed as part of an ARC Discovery project in the infrastructure team. Researchers in the ARC storEnergy Training Centre found benefits in being embedded with their industry partner, Boron Molecular, resulting in new learnings on both sides. New battery technologies were developed and ways to achieve marked improvements in Li-S battery performance are being explored. Methods for improving compression performance of carbon fibre composites for wind turbines are being trialled. Materials with self-healing properties are being created for use in the petrochemical sector. And our efforts to create artificial muscles forged ahead.

In furthering the circular economy, work by our infrastructure materials researchers on incorporating remediated PFAS contaminated soils into concrete is giving excellent results with great potential to reduce the amount of treated soil going to landfill. Our new metals additive manufacturing facility is opening up new avenues for rapid melt-free recycling of chipped and mixed metal scrap. And with industry partners Vesta and ELG, we are increasing the value of recycled carbon fibre, paving the way for new high-value applications. Research training remained a focus in 2020 and, in addition to scheduled skeleton lab access, we exploited a range of webinars and Zoom conferences to interact with our highly valued trainee researchers. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that is was a particularly difficult year for HDRs and our hats go off to their continued high level of performance and their valuable contribution towards serving our partner organizations. It is indeed our HDRs and our partners who underpin our efforts to better the world through materials science and engineering!

New facility to transform metals additive manufacturing

Metals research at the Institute for Frontier Materials has moved to a new dimension with the addition of a MELD B8 facility designed to perform a breakthrough additive manufacturing technology called Additive Friction Stir Deposition.

The facility, installed and commissioned in IFM’s proof of concept building, is the first one outside the United States. The facility and collaborative research program represents an alliance between the process inventors at MELD Manufacturing Corporation (Virginia, USA) and Deakin University to advance the science of this innovative solid-state metal additive manufacturing process.

Unlike most other metal additive manufacturing processes MELD does not involve melting and so avoids undesirable solidification defects and coarse microstructures common in traditional metal 3D printing.

In fact, the microstructure in the as-deposited state has the refined and uniform appearance of those formed by intensively forged or rolled materials - a novelty in 3D printed metals, which provides the deposit’s desirable properties.

Almost all alloy classes can be printed and at deposition rates an order of magnitude higher than powder-based additive manufacturing processes. This is a “large-format” 3D printing technology capable of making components at cubic metre scale, again quite distinctive for additive manufacturing processes.

ADVANCED ALLOYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE MATERIALS

Fundamental research at IFM is directed at understanding how microstructures develop in this process across alloy classes, and application opportunities are being sought in diverse sectors such as space manufacturing and high value components used in mineral processing and the hydrogen economy.

The technology is also central to the advanced alloy research group’s engagement with the circular economy. It is opening up a whole new avenue for the melt-free recycling of chipped and mixed metal scrap, removing the need for entire factories housing traditional foundry and thermo-mechanical processes.

It also has potential for melt-free low heat input repair of critical components on the aerospace sector. Finally,

MELD provides an opportunity to ‘mix’ into metal deposits new reinforcement materials such as the boron nitride nanotubes being developed by IFM spin-off, BNNT Technology, to create high-strength complex shaped metal matrix composites.

Associate Professor Daniel Fabijanic is overseeing the research program based on the MELD technology.

ADVANCED ALLOYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE MATERIALS

Electron migrograph showing corrosion proceeding under a protective inhibitor film on a steel plate.

Researchers have developed a family of novel compounds which offer an environmentally friendly approach to tackle the insidious problem of microbiologically influenced corrosion.

Due to its relatively low cost and favourable mechanical properties, mild steel is one of the most widely used materials in engineering structures. However, its susceptibility to corrosion is a major problem, estimated to cost more than 3% GDP globally each year. Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), or bio-corrosion, is metal deterioration caused by common bacteria. This process makes up at least 20 per cent of corrosive activity and its impacts are not only economic, but also threaten human life and environmentally sensitive areas, as evident from catastrophic pipeline failures caused by rapid MIC. It is difficult to guard against MIC without the use of toxic biocides, which are often indiscriminate in their effects, damaging both microbial and animal cells. In this project, a team led by Dr Anthony Somers and Prof Maria Forsyth are attempting to limit the damage caused by MIC through the use of novel, non-toxic inhibitor compounds.

Traditionally, inhibitor compounds used to limit MIC are either anti-microbial or anti-corrosive in their action. The scientists are adopting a multi-faceted approach to address the effects of both microbes and corrosion by combining a quaternary ammonium cation, known for its antimicrobial action, with a carboxylate anion that is known to limit corrosion.

Novel inhibitors for multi-pronged approach

They have synthesised a family of compounds that have shown an ability to reduce corrosion and cause bacteria cell death in separate tests. Quaternary ammonium compounds form lipid molecules (known as micelles) in solution and the nature of these micelles can influence the surface interactions. Through solution studies and molecular modelling, Dr Anthony Somers and his colleagues have determined the structure of the novel compounds in solution. They found that changes in concentration and, more importantly, small changes in

the chemical structure of these inhibitors, can result in major changes in the structure of these micelles, from spherical to wormlike and even branched. These changes can have a significant influence on the ability to protect the surface from corrosion. Importantly, these changes in chemical structure do not affect the anti-microbial effect of these compounds or their non-toxic nature.Collaborators in this project at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences (LES) at Deakin and the Curtin

Corrosion Centre have been investigating the role of bacteria in establishing MIC and how the novel inhibitors affect their metabolic pathways.

Next steps

Using atomic force microscopy, the next step will be to experimentally confirm modelling results that show how the different micelle structures in solution subsequently arrange on a steel surface. In final studies they are incorporating the inhibitors into paint coatings and, with the LES and Curtin researchers, will determine the ability of the inhibitors to leach out at a defect and protect an exposed surface from MIC.This research was supported by the Australian Research Council (DP180101465 Multifunctional and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor systems).

Working with industry, IFM researchers are finding new uses for remediated PFAS contaminated soils.

Hormone disrupting chemicals, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found in many plastics and substances such as fire retardants. They don’t break down in the environment or in the human body and can have alarming impacts on fertility as well as kidney and liver function.In a $1 million project mainly funded by the ARC, and industry partners Renex and The Remediation Group (TRG), IFM’s infrastructure materials research team are working to incorporate remediated PFAS contaminated soils into concrete. Renex is a Melbourne based company, which treats thousands of tonnes of soil each year to destroy organic contaminants, such as hydrocarbons and PFAS using controlled (pyrolytic) heat treatment.Australia and many other parts of the world face issues of PFAS contamination in soils and groundwater. While heat treatment can destroy PFAS, the contaminated soil is classified as industrial waste which then cannot be used for any agricultural purpose. It is mainly used

as a material in road base under roads and freeways. The IFM researchers are working with Renex to find a better use for these treated soils so they can be used for construction and minimise the amount going to landfill.They are using the treated soil as both a replacement for sand in concrete aggregate and even as a replacement for cement. This latter use is particularly interesting and is possible because many soils in Victoria have a high clay content. Importantly, the same heat treatment that removes the contaminants from the soil, is also the correct temperature to activate the clay in the soil, allowing it to act in a similar way to cement when water is added. The researchers are investigating the properties of the concrete produced using this material and, so far, results are very promising.The team has shown that as much as 100 per cent of fine aggregate in concrete and mortar can be replaced with remediated soil and still retain high strength suitable for structural applications.

Its use as a replacement for sand is important because of the worldwide shortage of fine aggregate, which has impacts on infrastructure building, particularly in developing countries, and also environmental impacts from sand mining.There are exciting future applications of this research. Importantly, concrete produced using this method has a much lower carbon footprint than conventional concrete.

The researchers are also working with Renex and The Remediation Group to show that heat treatment can be applied to agricultural waste streams, such as olive pulp and pips, used malt from breweries, or apricot kernels to make PFAS adsorbing materials useful in groundwater remediation projects. The goal of the project is to lower the overall costs of PFAS remediation by supporting a sustainable industry to develop to regenerate and reuse activated carbon adsorbents.

CARBON FIBRE AND COMPOSITES

As the global demand for renewable energy continues to increase, large wind turbines are an important component in the energy mix.

To create turbines with larger blades, however, requires strong, lightweight materials to withstand increased loads.The Danish wind turbine company Vestas has teamed up with IFM Carbon Nexus researchers to develop stronger carbon fibre composite materials for reinforcing its turbine blades.Carbon fibre reinforced composites are the material of choice for the renewable energy industry but the material’s poor compressive strength limits the development of larger wind turbine blades. Although carbon fibre is very strong in tension, it can be quite weak in compression, which limits the length of wind turbine blades. Longer blades could catch more

wind and generate more power at lower cost. Cheaper and lighter blades therefore translate to more affordable renewable energy.The team at Carbon Nexus are working to address these challenges on two levels, the fibre and the composite. The first focuses on developing a new carbon fibre with significantly higher compressive strength, while the second involves improving the composite’s compressive performance by developing strategies which quantify and reduce possible defects which can occur during manufacture.So far they have been able to significantly enhance the compressive performance of the carbon fibre through careful control of the chemistry and final micro-structure

without any negative impact on processability. Their work has also shown that new and innovative composite structures combined with improved fabrication methods can also greatly increase compression performance. Current efforts are now directed towards scaling up and validating the improvements at a larger scale. “With optimisation and refinement, even further improvements are expected, which could lead to a new family of carbon fibres ideally suited to the renewable energy sector,” said project leader, Professor Russell Varley. The research funded by Vestas is part of a project to build two wind farms in Victoria that together will deliver more than 500 megawatts, enough to power 350,000 homes.The rapid growth in renewable energy across the world has meant that Vestas is now the world’s largest user of carbon fibre. The company has made a commitment to develop the industry in Victoria, from assembling the turbine hubs in a decommissioned Ford factory to research into materials and other technology.“Working with Vestas is a great opportunity to help realise the potential of carbon fibre to contribute to a zero emissions energy generation future and a greener world,” said Professor Varley.

Next Steps

Reducing the cost of renewable energy is critical to a zero emissions future, but overall sustainability is also at the heart of the Carbon Nexus-Vestas collaboration. For this reason, Vestas has invested in a new project explor-ing alternative approaches to the effective recycling and re-use of wind turbine blades at the end of their useful service life. Current recycling methods generally result in the lower value applications of the carbon fibre after recycling. This project will explore new approaches that maintain the value of the carbon fibre allowing its re-use in high value applications.

IFM team launch world-first recycled carbon surfboardsThree IFM researchers have established the world’s first recycled carbon fibre surfboard company, with the help of Deakin’s SPARK Accelerator 2020 program.Their startup company, JUC Surf, will hit the market with its revolutionary boards, made entirely of recycled carbon fibre.The three researchers, Filip Stojcevski, Andreas Hendlmeier and James Randall have combined their knowledge of carbon fibre manufacturing, electrochemistry and material interfaces to overcome the technical hurdles of using recycled carbon fibre to create a robust, affordable, high-performance surfboard.The team believe their boards are stronger, lighter and more durable than conventional e-glass fibre-reinforced boards, for a similar price.“Until now, carbon fibre surfboards have been too rigid and prone to delamination, due to micro-cracks in the carbon fibre interface. We’ve used advanced electrochemistry to improve the properties of surface-

modified hydrophobic carbon fibres and recycled fibres to solve the problem,” explains Dr Stojcevski.With more than 45,000 tonnes of carbon fibre sent to landfill each year, the new start-up is attracting a great deal of interest from both surfers and carbon fibre producers.

CARBON FIBRE AND COMPOSITES

At IFM, researchers are seeking new technologies that allow them to extract value from waste and to design new materials that can be easily recycled and repurposed as well as being designed to last multiple lifetimes.

The development of self-healing polymer coatings, for example, offers a way to extend the life of polymers such as pipelines and other infrastructure exposed to harsh environments.In a project led by Professor Russell Varley, IFM researchers are working with the University of Adelaide and Malaysia’s oil and gas company Petronas to explore new concepts in autonomous healing of materials specifically targeted towards structures and pipelines that experience extremely harsh conditions and are difficult to repair manually.They have developed a novel self-healing epoxy that delivers a highly robust and reliable performance when added to the interior of steel pipes in oil field operations.These methods ensure the integrity of materials during operation, which could lead to longer service life of the materials and cost avoidance for maintenance and inspection by about 80 per cent.

While it is impossible to completely prevent degradation, the property of self-healing in materials provides a way of controlling or managing degradation to greatly prolong the structure’s service life.The team was recognized at the IChemE Malaysia Awards 2020 with the Oil and Gas Award for their project.

Recycling carbon fibre

Despite the increasing uptake and utility of carbon fibres, there are few methods to recycle or repurpose them at the end of their life. Recycled carbon fibre is currently used in generic, small-scale applications or milled into fillers which restricts it being used in higher value-added applications. IFM researchers are seeking to give it a better second-life.Professor Luke Henderson and his research team are investigating surface treatments of carbon fibre through

a chemistry lens. This research looks to strengthen and broaden the applications for recycled carbon fibre. “The aspect of this research that sets us apart is that we have come at it with a very fundamental organic chemistry understanding – to understand it by design rather than through its engineering,” explains Professor Henderson.The outcomes of this project include gaining a deeper understanding of the surface of carbon fibre and working to improve its viability, thus providing new insights into the lifespan of future recycled materials. In another project, working with Associate Professor Justin Chalker at Flinders University, ProfessorHenderson and his team are using novel polymers (made entirely from waste cooking oil and waste sulphur) as the supporting polymer to make new composites reinforced with recycled carbon fibre.The goal of this project is for these new composites themselves to also be recyclable. They could potentially be used as new and sustainable construction materials for roads, buildings and in other high-volume applications, such as insulation. The innovation in this research is that the polymer matrix enables the composite to be recycled repeatedly. Importantly, the polymer and carbon are all waste materials, so no new materials are required in this processing method.IFM’s research is fundamental to unearthing value-added applications for recycled carbon fibre, to integrate these advanced materials within a circular economy.

ELECTRO AND ENERGY MATERIALS

The limitations of lithium ion (Li) battery technology have spurred a quest for other battery options.

Among these, only lithium-sulphur batteries have been developed rapidly by universities and industry. Li-S batteries have several advantages which make them strong candidates as next-generation batteries to meet increasing demand The theoretical energy density of Li-S batteries is several times higher than that of Li-ion batteries. This means that a mobile phone needs to be charged only once per week if it uses a Li-S battery. Electric cars can run well over 500 km per charge using a smaller number of battery cells to minimise cost, weight and safety issues.Li-S batteries run on a very different and fast chemical reaction mechanism, so the charging process is much faster, and thus much shorter charging times are required. The batteries use cheap sulphur instead of the expensive metal oxides used in Li-ion batteries. Because sulphur and graphene are much lighter than metal oxides, Li-S batteries will be much lighter than Li-ion batteries, which is a significant advantage for applications such as wearable devices, electric vehicles and unmanned aircraft.IFM’s nanotechnology team has been developing the Li-S battery technology over the past 10 years and has made several significant breakthroughs in designing and

synthesizing new electrodes with substantially improved cycling performance. They have lodged a patent application for their innovation in flexible Li-S battery technology and the potential has been recognized by an Australian company, PPK Group Ltd, which has invested $1.3M to commercialise the technology via a new joint-venture company Li-S Energy Limited. The new company will establish a prototyping production line for boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) Li-S batteries using new electrodes containing BNNTs to further improve battery performance. This is the second joint-venture company to commercialise the group’s research, following BNNT Technology Limited based at ManuFutures, which is now producing commercial quantities of high purity BNNTs. A new Li-S battery project laboratory has been established at IFM, with new battery making and testing equipment installed in 2020. Li-S Energy Ltd has achieved scale up of the technology from small research coin cells to larger pouch cells, which are performing well and will be used to build battery packs, with potential applications such as electronic devices, drones, electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

FIBRES AND TEXTILES

In a paper published in the prestigious journal Science, an international research team including IFM researchers Dr Si (Alex) Qin and Professor Joselito Razal, describe an important breakthrough in the development of artificial muscles.

The research team, which includes scientists from the United States, South Korea, China and Australia, fabricated artificial muscles by twisting and coiling carbon nanotube and polymer yarns. The muscles actuate by contracting or extending their length when voltage is applied on the yarns.The research represents a breakthrough in the practical use of these materials, which allows the artificial muscles to work efficiently at room temperature without the need for heating or cooling. The new muscles are actuated by an electrochemical process,

with the researchers overcoming several obstacles that had previously limited the stroke and efficiency of electrochemically driven carbon nanotube artificial muscles.Dr Qin and Professor Razal have been collaborating with the international team for the past four years and their role has been mainly in material preparation, and evaluating and confirming performance of the artificial muscles.

ARC RESEARCH HUB FOR FUTURE FIBRES

IFM researchers are working with industry to create innovative materials with extraordinary functionality. Our industry partners are using these materials to develop smarter products and fight COVID-19, while creating local manufacturing opportunities.

Multinational company, HeiQ supplies textile makers with specialised treatments that are applied to the surface of textiles during their manufacture. Its unique products add functionality, such as adaptive cooling, odour control, antimicrobial properties and moisture management to everyday apparel produced by more than 200 global textile brands.HeiQ works with a cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the ARC Research Hub for Future Fibres led by Associate Professor Alessandra Sutti to successfully develop and share new treatments such as HeiQ Real Silk and HeiQ No Fuzz with the company’s global operations.The nimble research structure developed over the past six years has allowed the company and the research to pivot during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, the team is helping to further advance the HeiQ Viroblock technology. When the pandemic began, HeiQ expedited production of Viroblock, which combines silver antimicrobial technology and vesicle technology to rapidly destroy enveloped viruses, including coronaviruses. Testing indicates that HeiQ Viroblock

achieves a virus reduction of more than 99.9% relative to the control and, since March 2020, it has been used to treat face masks with anti-viral and antibacterial properties. The product is manufactured in Europe, the US and at Manufutures on the Deakin Geelong campus.The development of textiles and surfaces that are virus and bacteria-resistant is one aspect of helping to address the current pandemic emergency, as well as future pandemic threats.

Anti-viral textile coatings

The team also pitched in during the early stages of the pandemic, producing hundreds of litres of hand sanitiser at a time when supplies were struggling to keep up with rapid high demand. They realised they had the expertise and equipment available to make large batches of sanitiser relatively quickly, providing a vital stockpile for Victoria’s emergency service workers. HeiQ supported the project, contributing equipment, supplies and production support to enable larger batches of sanitiser to be produced. More than 300,000 doses of

hand sanitiser have been made, with the team able to produce more if required.“Although we don’t have NAATA accreditation in our labs, we have a full suite of characterisation techniques that can help our industry partners develop or screen materials for their product to maximise time efficiency and minimise more costly analysis such as viral assays,” explains Associate Professor Sutti.“Our characterisation techniques and material expertise also help identify alternative materials, or assess the suitability of materials that are new to the medical space but have been widely used in other applications, such as food or cosmetics.“We always work within the economic and supply chain considerations of our industry partners, since we understand that commercial viability is important for any material development.”The research team continue to collaborate on new starting materials for novel textile treatments to improve sustainability, including waste materials from agricultural or food processing and recycled textiles. Future product applications and topics being explored include home furnishings, uniforms and scope for increased Australian-based manufacturing capability.

ARC TRAINING CENTRE IN ALLOY INNOVATION FOR MINING EFFICIENCY (MINEALLOY)

Using a combination of computer simulations, processing data and advanced characterisation techniques, researchers are increasing scientific understanding and pushing the technological boundaries of white cast irons used in the mining industry.

White cast irons are commonly used in mining applications because of their hardness and wear resistance. These materials are essentially iron-carbon alloys with a high content of carbide forming elements, mainly chromium. Their high carbide content is responsible for their hardness and abrasion resistance. As well as their chemical composition, heat treatments have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of white cast irons. Heat treatments affect the type of carbide, their size, morphology and their distribution in the microstructure, as well as the type and volume fraction of iron phases, mainly martensite (a hard but brittle phase) and retained austenite (a soft but tough phase). Most of the microstructural features are interdependent and have opposing effects on hardness and toughness, which makes optimisation of the alloy composition and heat treatment very challenging.

Also, the heat treatment of large white cast iron components for mining applications is time consuming and energy demanding. Most heat treatments are conducted at temperatures between 800oC and 1100oC for several hours, with both financial and environmental implications. So, the chemical composition and heat treatment of white cast irons need to be optimised in order to improve their properties, reduce their cost and minimise their environmental footprint.

Optimising heat treatment

Through mineAlloy, researchers at IFM and Bradken are working together to tackle the problem. Using a combination of computational thermodynamic simulations, materials characterisation and advanced testing techniques, they are studying the effect of slight variations in the chemical composition and heat treatment parameters (heating rate, maximum

temperature, holding time, cooling rate, etc.) on the resulting mechanical properties of white cast irons. And, even more importantly, the results are revealing the underpinning principles behind critical microstructural features, such as type and distribution of carbides, chemical composition and mechanical stability of e.g. retained austenite. In this way, the project is expected to increase the scientific understanding and push the technological boundaries of white cast irons.

An innovative approach

The combined approach using computer simulations, processing data from the production environment and advanced characterisation and testing has given rapid results. Firstly, researchers used the ThermoCalc software and databases to study different alloy compositions and to calculate the stable phases and their volume fractions at different temperatures. In parallel, Bradken provided samples and processing data (thermal cycles) from production environments. The specimens were analysed and compared with the computer simulations to validate the model.In the next stage, researchers designed new heat treatments based on the thermodynamic models and taking into account the limitations of industrial facilities (maximum temperature, heating and cooling rates, etc.). The proposed heat treatments were applied to small specimens of white cast iron using a dilatometer – a scientific instrument capable of measuring the volume changes of a sample induced by phase transformations in the material. This method allowed the researchers to rapidly explore multiple heat treatment schedules and even assess the differences between the thermal cycle of the core and the surface of one large component.

Once a new promising heat treatment schedule was identified, researchers produced a set of samples for mechanical testing (hardness, wear and impact toughness) and microstructural analyses. The tests provided preliminary data on the expected performance of the material prior to full-scale industrial trials.

Outcomes

The results so far have been most revealing, particularly regarding the optimised heat treatment. Researchers obtained new insights on the evolution of different carbides during heat treatment, which revealed new pathways to improve the mechanical properties of white cast irons while reducing the heat treatment time. The findings are now being implemented in full-scale industrial trials with promising results.

“We are now finding that we are able to tune heat treatments for specific customer needs and gain maximum performance for their particular application.”The next step will be to investigate novel alloy compositions which show great potential to supersede the standard grades of white cast iron currently used in mining applications.

“We are already seeing benefits in the field from the work conducted by the research team at Deakin which has been primarily focused on heat treatment optimisation,” said Bradken Research and Development Manager, Reece Attwood.

ARC CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR ELECTROMATERIALS SCIENCE

ACES researchers at IFM in collaboration with CIC energiGUNE, Spain, have developed new electrolyte compositions for sustainable batteries based on abundant and cheap active materials, sodium and oxygen.

Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant energy storage systems used in electrified transportation and modern technology as well as for renewable energy storage. However, these batteries require scarce, toxic and unethically resourced materials for their fabrication, creating an urgent need for novel and improved technologies. The sodium-oxygen (Na-O2) battery is an emerging and sustainable alternative with high energy density – almost six times higher than Li-ion batteries.However, the poor cyclability (the number of times a battery can be charged and discharged) of Na-O2 batteries resulting mostly from passivation (when the electrode stops being conductive) of the battery electrodes is limiting their commercialisation. The chemical composition of the electrolytes in sodium-

oxygen batteries can control the electrodes’ passivation and improve the battery’s long-term performance. Recent research by ACES higher degree researcher Laura Garcia-Quintana and Dr Cristina Pozo-Gonzalo using a new hybrid electrolyte based on the combination of an ionic liquid and organic solvent (diglyme) commonly used in sodium-air batteries, has established a clear relationship between the morphology, purity, size and distribution of the discharge products on the air cathode. This finding prevents the passivation of the battery electrodes and in turn favours long-term battery performance. Their recent publication in ACS Energy Letters reports the difference in battery performance when using only diglyme or ionic liquid compared with the superior

results for the hybrid electrolyte. This is related to the species generated in the bulk of the electrolyte and their movement and has been corroborated by experimental characterisation and modelling in collaboration with IFM’s Dr Fangfang Chen.Higher degree researchers Han Li and The An Ha are jointly working on novel, flexible and free-standing air cathodes for sodium-oxygen batteries. By manipulating the morphology and chemical composition, the Na-O2 battery has been able to cycle for 160 cycles at 0.1 mA cm-2 which is the highest reported in the literature for N-doped air cathodes. This is the result of collaborations between Dr Pozo-Gonzalo and Professor Patrick Howlett together with Professor Xungai Wang at IFM and Dr Jian Fang, former ACES researcher and now working at Soochow University, China.

Global engagementIn February 2020, IFM’s ACES researchers attended the 14th Annual International Electromaterials Science Symposium over three days in Canberra. More than 120 people participated in the three-day event, which covered both fundamental and applied aspects of electromaterials across areas of research in health, energy and ethics. The ACES network of members and collaborators is substantial, creating a significant global reputation, reflected in the centre’s publications. In 2020, ACES published 121 (55.8%) journal articles with international collaborations and 750 (54.7%) since 2014. The articles published also demonstrate a global reach, receiving 538 citations from 56 countries in 2020 and 33,380 citations from 115 countries 2014-2020 (SCIVAl, Scopus data 14.01.21).

ARC TRAINING CENTRE FOR FUTURE ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES (STORENERGY)

IFM researchers are working with storEnergy industry partner, Boron Molecular to develop new ionic electrolytes with improved conductivity and greater robustness for batteries.

The team at IFM has vast experience developing novel electrolytes, such as ionic liquids and organic ionic plastic crystals for use in battery applications. With the expertise and facilities at Boron Molecular, the researchers also aim to explore the commercial scalability of ionic electrolyte production. Associate Research Fellow, Dr. Colin Kang and Higher Degree researcher, Anna Warrington are synthesising a range of new ionic electrolytes, both in liquid and solid form (advantageous because they cannot leak). A key focus has been exploring the addition of certain functionalities to improve the flexibility and conductivity of these materials. With the development of such materials, which can improve the coordination and transport of lithium ions, the goal is to target these

electrolytes toward advanced lithium batteries to achieve higher performance and safety. Over the past year, Dr Kang and Ms Warrington have spent at least half their time working in Boron Molecular’s laboratories. This was exceptionally valuable during 2020 when access to the IFM laboratories was very limited. The arrangement now enables an excellent balance between synthetic activities at Boron Molecular and materials analysis at Burwood.“Being able to do synthesis at Boron Molecular helped us so much. Learning new synthetic techniques and having access to facilities, such as their NMR and GC. They are learning from us as well. It’s a great exchange of knowledge,” says Ms Warrington.

An Innovative process Alongside the novel materials and innovative purification methods, the researchers are also using a new approach to upscale optimal materials. Rather than synthesising such materials in a traditional batch process (which requires a lot of solvent), a flow process will enable the continuous production of electrolyte material. Not only can this reduce the amount of waste generated, but it can also reduce the production cost toward commercial scalability.“The industry experience at Boron Molecular has been eye-opening to their systematic ways of materials synthesis and purification. It’s interesting for us to see the way they do things and also for them to understand how we purify, analyse and characterise our materials. It allows us to expand our synthetic knowledge and skills and move towards our common goal.” says Dr Kang.With the current results at hand, the team will take what they have learnt and use this to optimise other prospective electrolytes whilst also testing the most promising electrolyte systems in devices with other researchers in the storEnergy centre.

Electrifying idea proves a winner

A green idea to electrify motor scooters with sodium batteries propelled a team of storEnergy researchers to the international grand final of Climate Launchpad 2020 – the world’s largest green business idea competition.Known as ‘Elevenstore’ (from sodium’s atomic number) the team of Karolina Biernacka, Dr Faezeh Makhlooghi Azad, Dr Jenny Sun and Dr Vahide Ghanooni Ahmadabadi, all from the IFM electromaterials group, entered the competition against 3000 applications from 56 countries. They emerged as winners in their theme of sustainable mobility, gaining a prize of €5000 to put towards their new start-up company. They have also secured themselves a place in the Climate-KIC Climate Launchpad Accelerator, which will help them turn their idea of using cutting-edge sodium batteries for mobility applications into a reality. “We are confident that our sodium batteries, with their safer and cheaper features, can open up a new market for light electric vehicles in Indonesia and Southeast Asia more broadly,” said Karolina Biernacka.“Participating in the Launchpad has been empowering. It’s helped us to translate technology from the lab into reality and show other young researchers they can step out of the lab.”The researchers were encouraged by storEnergy Director, Professor Maria Forsyth, to participate in the project to gain the skills, expertise and contacts to achieve translation of the world-leading research.

FUTURE FUELS COOPERATIVE RESEARCH CENTRE

With growing interest in the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source, attention is turning to how our gas infrastructure will perform with the new fuel.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a condition that occurs when hydrogen diffuses into a metal and causes it to crack and so is a problem for steel pipelines. A team of Future Fuels CRC researchers from Deakin’s School of Engineering and IFM are pioneering the use of a technique known as atom probe tomography (APT) to measure hydrogen in steel pipelines.Their results suggest that APT is a promising method for quickly assessing hydrogen diffusion and interaction with pipeline steels and could be used as a tool for selecting pipeline steel and for quality control.The technique could also be used to assist in the design, development, manufacturing and treatment of steels with high resistance to hydrogen embrittlement in steel and pipeline manufacturing. Importantly, the

researchers believe this method could be used to reveal the scientific causes of hydrogen embrittlement, which would revolutionise our understanding of materials failure phenomena, such as hydrogen induced cracking and fatigue.

Safe and efficient design, construction and operation of future fuel infrastructure is one of the Future Fuels CRC’s major research themes.

FUTURE FUELS COOPERATIVE RESEARCH CENTRE

In the next phase of the project, higher-degree researchers will further refine the method and assess its capability to assess the relationships between material defects and hydrogen-rich compounds, and subsequent changes in mechanical properties. Further investigation could lead to better understanding of the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement and the evaluation of materials for specific applications such as hydrogen-carrying high-pressure steel pipelines. This will be achieved by further testing and assessment of pipelines selected by industry, such as those with welds or rust patches in order to achieve real-life application of the method.

The state-of-art atom probe at Deakin University is being used to measure hydrogen in steel pipelines.

Sandpit provides test bed for hydrogenA future where Australians can enjoy the convenience of gas heating and cooking, without CO2 emissions, is one step closer with the Hydrogen Test Bed project now up and running at Deakin’s Warrnambool campus.The goal of the five-year $2.3 million Future Fuels CRC research project is to better understand how commonly used natural gas infrastructure performs with hydrogen. Led by Associate Professor Nolene Byrne, the research team will monitor pipe performance over a four-year period.Three types of commonly used pipes will be filled with hydrogen and buried in sandpits to replicate real world conditions.Associate Professor Byrne said the project is an important first step towards the safe introduction of hydrogen into existing natural gas networks. The hydrogen test beds are located within Deakin’s Hycel Technology Hub.“This project is looking at all parts of the reticulated gas network, including welds, junctures, regulators and

appliances, so that we can safely introduce hydrogen into existing infrastructure,” Associate Professor Byrne said.Research results aim to extend the life of existing Australian infrastructure while investing in clean energy solutions.

INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING COOPERATIVE RESEARCH CENTRE

IFM researchers, technology company Xefco, Geelong engineering firm Proficiency Contracting and the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC) are collaborating on a project to developing a novel coating technology with applications that include anti-viral textiles.

Coatings are applied to textiles to impart desired functional properties such as water resistance, fire retardance and odour control. Traditional coatings are applied using methods such as dipping, padding or spraying. However, these processes are often associated with high consumption of water, harsh chemicals and poor durability of the applied coatings. This three-year project, led by Associate Professor Weiwei Lei, aims to develop a novel commercial plasma coating system operating at atmospheric pressure. Using plasma technology has potential to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of existing coating equipment while also increasing processing speed. Earlier research by the IFM team has identified that coatings applied via a plasma polymerisation process can provide significantly improved durability while also substantially reducing chemical and water consumption. But the use of plasma pre-treatment and plasma polymerisation coating methods is restricted by the requirement for a low pressure environment to allow evenness and consistency of plasma. This, in turn, necessitates large and expensive hardware and also limits the efficiency of the coating process due to the need to process materials in batches.

In 2020, the team had a breakthrough in developing the novel atmospheric plasma coating technology and received an additional grant of $503,950 from the IMCRC to expand the research on developing antiviral coatings by plasma technology (taking the total funding to $4.3M). A small-scale prototype has been built and moved from Proficiency Contracting to IFM to carry out the research work, with an industrial prototype system under construction. The team is working to develop a roll-to-roll atmospheric plasma system that provides equivalent coating consistency and quality to those produced by low pressure plasma equipment at a substantially reduced cost and significantly greater efficiency.The new atmospheric plasma system will have environmental benefits compared to wet coating methods, including reduced chemical and water consumption of the coating process, as well as improved durability of the coatings.Other manufacturing industries that may benefit from the developed functional coating technology include composites, metal surfacing, glass and plastics industries.
