Methane pyrolysis is a promising low-emission hydrogen production method that directly splits natural gas or biogas into hydrogen and solid carbon. However, a technological gap exists in dealing with solid carbon. This project aims to economically utilize carbon coproducts from catalytic methane pyrolysis using low-cost Australian iron ore catalysts. Carbon structures will be optimised during synthesis, and a new electrochemical purification method will be scaled up to obtain high-purity carbon materials. Value-added applications of unpurified and purified carbon coproducts will be demonstrated for wastewater treatment and different types of batteries, reducing solid waste and enabling significant cost offsets for hydrogen production.

甲烷热解是一种有前景的低排放制氢方法，可直接将天然气或沼气分解为氢气和固体碳。然而，在处理固体碳方面存在技术差距。该项目旨在经济地利用低成本澳大利亚铁矿石催化剂催化甲烷热解产生的碳副产品。在合成过程中将优化碳结构，并扩大新的电化学纯化方法以获得高纯度碳材料。未纯化和纯化的碳联产品的增值应用将在废水处理和不同类型的电池中得到展示，从而减少固体废物并显着抵消氢气生产的成本。
