Single-Atom Electrode for Hydrogenation Reactions at High Current Densities
Description: This project aims to develop a new type of single-atom electrodes for electro-catalytic hydrogenation to produce value-added products at industrial-scale current densities. A single-atom tailoring strategy together with precise control of the electrode micro-architectures will be applied to maximise device performance. The expected outcomes include the establishment of basic rules on the fabrication of high-efficiency single-atom electrodes and a fundamental understanding of the relationships between the morphological properties of single-atom sites and catalytic activities. The project secures Australia’s leading position in materials science and renewable energy, bringing economic benefit through the commercialisation of novel electrodes.
