Description

Nanostructured fullerene-like catalytic reactor for solar fuel production. This project aims to achieve net-zero realization by synthesizing high-value solar alcohols, addressing challenges in conversion efficiency and selectivity. A novel fullerene-like nanostructured catalytic reactor, based on strontium titanate catalysts, will be developed to enhance photothermal efficiency and CO2 reduction. The research will establish fundamental knowledge on high-efficiency photothermal catalysts, their nanostructured reactors, and reaction mechanism for CO2 photoreduction. These advancements will drive artificial photosynthesis technology forward, supporting Australia's sustainable development and carbon neutrality goals.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4011 - Environmental Engineering. Lead: Dr Fan Fang
