Summary
Integrated Tip-Enabled Nanofabrication and Characterisation at Atomic Scale. This project aims to establish the most advanced all-in-one multifunctional system going beyond the best system in the world. This facility is expected to combine tip-enabled nanofabrication, imaging, photo-/electrochemical, and electromechanical measurement to realise atomically precisely controlled nanofabrication, in-situ imaging, and real-time measurement of single active sites in micro and nanoscale devices.The pro ....Integrated Tip-Enabled Nanofabrication and Characterisation at Atomic Scale. This project aims to establish the most advanced all-in-one multifunctional system going beyond the best system in the world. This facility is expected to combine tip-enabled nanofabrication, imaging, photo-/electrochemical, and electromechanical measurement to realise atomically precisely controlled nanofabrication, in-situ imaging, and real-time measurement of single active sites in micro and nanoscale devices.The proposed facility features high-quality measurements in an unmatched spatial and temporal range, allowing studying physical and chemical phenomena that are difficult to detect using conventional methods. The proposed integrated system will be the first of its kind in Australia. Read moreRead less
Solar solutions to improve energy affordability for low-income renters. This Project aims to develop solutions for low-income renters to access solar energy. Low-income households spend higher proportions of income on electricity costs. Solar energy is a key way to reduce electricity costs and thus improve energy affordability. Renters are largely excluded from this opportunity. Intended Project outcomes are solutions to access solar energy suitable for widespread application to low-income priva ....Solar solutions to improve energy affordability for low-income renters. This Project aims to develop solutions for low-income renters to access solar energy. Low-income households spend higher proportions of income on electricity costs. Solar energy is a key way to reduce electricity costs and thus improve energy affordability. Renters are largely excluded from this opportunity. Intended Project outcomes are solutions to access solar energy suitable for widespread application to low-income private, public and community rental housing. Adoption of the Project’s outcomes are expected to benefit low-income renters, assist electricity retailers to maintain and extend their customer base, and provide commercial incentives for the many stakeholders providing rental housing and residential solar and battery systems.Read moreRead less

This project aims to design highly active, specifically selective, satisfactorily stable catalysts based on advanced ionic compound materials for carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction. Innovations are expected in the multi-metallic composition to ensure catalytic performance while maintain stability under electrochemical conditions. With assistance of artificial-intelligence approaches, numerous atomic-scale modelling, speed-up theoretical simulation and rational screening can be achieved. Expected outcomes include providing guidance in elemental composition ratio and suitable reaction conditions for experiments. Benefits include reduced CO2 to fight climate change and increased green-fuel production for sustainable growth of Australia.Read moreRead less
