This project will overcome current limitations in advanced energy materials design via wet chemical methods. It will enable materials synthesis and characterisation toward thermal/photo/electro-catalytic, hydrogen storage, and battery technologies. The facility is expected to drive fundamental concepts, and enable combinatorial search and new thin film technology. It is anticipated that this facility will increase Australia’s international competitiveness in the development of advanced energy materials.Read moreRead less
Sustainable operation of transformers with better understanding of technical and economic constraints. Transformer failure can be devastating to consumers and network service providers, costing from thousands to millions of dollars in transformer replacement and lost productivity. To avoid such catastrophic failures, the goal of this project will be to develop new methods that can maximise transformer usage and minimise cost before failure occurs.

This project aims to establish a cutting edge adaptive electrical capacitance volume tomography facility for real-time metering / imaging of multi-phase flows. Optimisation of these flows which are encountered in many industries, is paramount in today's carbon-constrained global economy. This project expects to generate the new knowledge necessary for such optimisations. Expected outcomes include enhanced national capability for characterisation of multi-phase flows in real-time under both ambient and high temperatures. This should benefit and greatly facilitate the commercial rollout of novel technologies in industrial sectors as diverse as mineral processing, clean energy, fuels/chemicals, oil/gas, food and environmental remediation.
