Grant Activity:
Smart graphene supercapacitors for self-sustained and zero-emission gyms
Purpose:
This project aims to develop a smart and robust graphene supercapacitor system (GraFit) that harnesses the green electricity generated by gym-users to power the self-sustained and zero-emission gyms. This project expects to generate new knowledge in translating graphene supercapacitors into real-life applications. Expected outcomes include a practical GraFit system ideally compatible with the intermittent and fluctuating electricity generated from gym workouts. The establishment of the world's first self-sustained and zero-emission gym innovatively collects and uses the massive kinetic energy previously dumped through gym. It promotes deep decarbonisation in Australian fitness industry and green and healthy lifestyles in Australian society.
