The aim is to produce the fundamental science for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals through an advanced electrocatalytic approach using abundant small-molecule sources like water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides as feedstocks. A range of highly active and selective electrode catalysts will be developed for electrolysis processes at ambient temperatures and pressures, by an interdisciplinary approach combining atomic-level material design principles, in situ/ex situ instrumental techniques, and modern computation methods. The expected outcomes will be of great significance for renewable energy use and clean fuel generation – the major energy and environmental challenges facing Australia and the world.

其目的是通过先进的电催化方法，使用丰富的小分子来源（如水、二氧化碳和氮氧化物）作为原料，为高度可持续生产燃料和化学品提供基础科学，将开发一系列活性和选择性电极催化剂。通过结合原子级材料设计原理、原位/异位仪器技术和现代计算方法的跨学科方法，研究环境温度和压力下的电解过程，预期结果将对可再生能源的使用和清洁燃料的产生具有重要意义。 – 主要澳大利亚和世界面临的能源和环境挑战。
