Metal-support interactions: single atoms Vs nanoclusters. This project aims to fundamentally understand the catalytic mechanism at an atomic level through metal-metal and metal-metal/support interactions. The optimised configuration of active sites for a specific reaction is consequently identified, providing the design principles of novel catalysts. The precisely control of synthesis for such active sites and assembly of the target active sites into a catalyst will deliver a completely new meth ....Metal-support interactions: single atoms Vs nanoclusters. This project aims to fundamentally understand the catalytic mechanism at an atomic level through metal-metal and metal-metal/support interactions. The optimised configuration of active sites for a specific reaction is consequently identified, providing the design principles of novel catalysts. The precisely control of synthesis for such active sites and assembly of the target active sites into a catalyst will deliver a completely new methodology for catalyst development. The expected outcomes from this project include new science and knowledge of Chemistry, new design philosophy and strategies for catalysts, and the highly efficient catalysts for electrocatalytic reactions, benefiting Australian renewable energy research and industry.Read moreRead less

Summary
ARC Training Centre for The Global Hydrogen Economy. The centre aims to transform Australia into a hydrogen powerhouse by building enabling capacity in hydrogen innovation in a short timeframe. Australia is well-positioned to capitalise on the emerging global growth of hydrogen, however to be competitive and produce at scale, we need cost-effective hydrogen technologies and capabilities for transitioning hydrogen into industries. This innovative, five-year program will generate new technologies ....ARC Training Centre for The Global Hydrogen Economy. The centre aims to transform Australia into a hydrogen powerhouse by building enabling capacity in hydrogen innovation in a short timeframe. Australia is well-positioned to capitalise on the emerging global growth of hydrogen, however to be competitive and produce at scale, we need cost-effective hydrogen technologies and capabilities for transitioning hydrogen into industries. This innovative, five-year program will generate new technologies and equip a future workforce of industry-focused engineers with advanced skills for development and scaling-up of hydrogen generation and transport. Benefits include: export of hydrogen fuel and advanced technologies; job creation; and a lower emissions domestic energy industry.Read moreRead less
