This project aims to develop photocatalysts with adjustable nano-structures and compositions to efficiently and stably catalyse water splitting for hydrogen production using sunlight. This project will include theoretical computations to predict the electronic band structure, adsorption energetics and active sites of photocatalysts, and to guide the design and synthesis of high-performance photocatalysts. These photocatalysts are important for clean and cost-effective solar hydrogen production with zero-emission of greenhouse gases. This project could help resolve Australia and the world’s energy and environmental challenges.

该项目旨在开发具有可调纳米结构和组成的光催化剂，以有效且稳定地催化水分裂以使用阳光生产氢。该项目将包括理论计算，以预测电子带的结构，增加吸附能和光催化剂的活跃位点，并指导高性能光催化剂的设计和合成。这些光催化剂对于清洁且具有成本效益的太阳氢生产至关重要，温室气体零排放。该项目可以帮助解决澳大利亚以及世界的能源和环境挑战。
