Summary
Nonmetals for green catalysis. This proposal aims to develop nonmetal materials and technologies for frontier green catalysis that is targeted to contaminant degradation and chemical synthesis by catalytic oxidation processes. The project will systematically unveil the intrinsic nature of nonmetal elements in heterogeneous catalysis, develop rational design principles, and achieve scaling-up of intelligent nanomaterials and integrated green catalytic systems for high reactivity and selectivity. ....Nonmetals for green catalysis. This proposal aims to develop nonmetal materials and technologies for frontier green catalysis that is targeted to contaminant degradation and chemical synthesis by catalytic oxidation processes. The project will systematically unveil the intrinsic nature of nonmetal elements in heterogeneous catalysis, develop rational design principles, and achieve scaling-up of intelligent nanomaterials and integrated green catalytic systems for high reactivity and selectivity. This cross-disciplinary research will deliver benefits to Australian industry in water treatment and fine chemical synthesis, foster Australian R&D in green technologies, synthesise catalysts from natural resources and industrial waste, and promote strong sustainability outcomes.Read moreRead less
Molecular movies using time-resolved momentum spectroscopies. This project aims to use time-resolved momentum spectroscopies to take snapshots of chemical and physical processes as they evolve in time. This project expects to use these molecular movies to track the changes to electron motion after they have absorbed light. Expected outcomes of this project include understanding how the motion of electrons can drive physical processes and induce chemical changes. This will provide significant ben ....Molecular movies using time-resolved momentum spectroscopies. This project aims to use time-resolved momentum spectroscopies to take snapshots of chemical and physical processes as they evolve in time. This project expects to use these molecular movies to track the changes to electron motion after they have absorbed light. Expected outcomes of this project include understanding how the motion of electrons can drive physical processes and induce chemical changes. This will provide significant benefits through expanding knowledge that will assist in controlling chemical reactions and developing technologies with improved performance, such as sensors and solar cells.
