A Transportable Self-referenced Quantum Current Standard on a Silicon Chip. The field of metrological science strives for continuous improvement in precision and reproducibility, a goal only achievable by exploiting the fundamental constants of nature. In electrical metrology, both voltage (V) and resistance (R) standards have reached this milestone, but not current (I). We aim to develop novel self-referenced nanoelectronic charge-pump devices that can generate a highly accurate, error-detectab ....A Transportable Self-referenced Quantum Current Standard on a Silicon Chip. The field of metrological science strives for continuous improvement in precision and reproducibility, a goal only achievable by exploiting the fundamental constants of nature. In electrical metrology, both voltage (V) and resistance (R) standards have reached this milestone, but not current (I). We aim to develop novel self-referenced nanoelectronic charge-pump devices that can generate a highly accurate, error-detectable output current utilising Australian-developed silicon-based single-electron transistor technology. We will undertake high-precision measurements in collaboration with leading European standards institutes and researchers, establishing the technological basis for a new world current standard that is reproducible worldwide.Read moreRead less

Summary
Hydrogel Electrolytes for Flexible Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries. This project aims to advance the development of flexible rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) by innovating functional hydrogels as solid-state electrolytes. Flexible rechargeable ZABs are the most promising power source for emerging flexible electronics, but lacking of high-performance flexible electrolytes is a critical bottleneck for their applications. Based on hydrogel innovation, this project will address the most critic ....Hydrogel Electrolytes for Flexible Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries. This project aims to advance the development of flexible rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) by innovating functional hydrogels as solid-state electrolytes. Flexible rechargeable ZABs are the most promising power source for emerging flexible electronics, but lacking of high-performance flexible electrolytes is a critical bottleneck for their applications. Based on hydrogel innovation, this project will address the most critical challenges of flexible electrolytes in flexible rechargeable ZABs. Findings from this project will create new knowledge generated from multidisciplinary research and pave the way to realise a new generation of flexible rechargeable ZABs as a highly efficient and durable flexible energy storage technology.Read moreRead less
Enabling diamond nanoelectronics with metal oxide induced surface doping. This project aims to use diamond for radio frequency power electronics. This builds on the investigator’s success in controlling diamond surface conductivity using transition metal oxides. Diamond is highly desirable for building high-power, high-frequency electronic devices, particularly for use in electrical power control/conversion and telecommunication.

This project aims to use diamond for radio frequency power electronics. This builds on the investigator’s success in controlling diamond surface conductivity using transition metal oxides. Diamond is highly desirable for building high-power, high-frequency electronic devices, particularly for use in electrical power control/conversion and telecommunication. The lack of effective and stable doping methods has impeded the realisation of this prospect. This project expects the high performance and technically viable device technologies will enable diamond electronic devices for applications in telecommunications, radars and the next-generation electricity grid.Read moreRead less
