Methanol is an ideal hydrogen carrier due to its low cost, high hydrogen content, and liquid phase for easy storage and transport but facing problems with hydrogen release. This project aims to achieve cost-effective and emission-free methanol conversion for on-demand hydrogen production. The key concept is the rational design of high-performance single-atom catalytic materials for solar-powered photocatalytic methanol conversion to hydrogen and value-added chemical formaldehyde with high productivity and selectivity. Expected outcomes include cutting-edge knowledge in the synthesis of functional materials and technology for efficient methanol-to-hydrogen conversion, contributing to the development of the hydrogen economy in Australia.

甲醇是理想的氢载体，因为其成本低，高氢含量以及液相，可轻松存储和运输，但面临释放氢的问题。该项目旨在实现按需氢生产的成本效益和无排放的甲醇转化率。关键概念是高性能单原子催化材料的合理设计，用于太阳能的光催化甲醇转化为氢，并具有高生产率和选择性的增值化学甲醛。预期的结果包括在综合功能材料和技术的尖端知识，以进行有效的甲醇到氢转化，这有助于澳大利亚氢经济的发展。
