Overview
The hydrogen economy is rapidly developing, especially in Japan and Australia.
An attractive means of generating hydrogen is by splitting water using electrocatalysts.
This project is focused on integration of concentrated solar photovoltaic systems with novel electrocatalysis systems with high efficiency for hydrogen production.
Research activities
For this research project, you'll design and test catalysts for water splitting. You'll also be trained in a wide range of material characterisation technologies.
Outcomes
The aim of this project is to create a sustainable means of generating hydrogen which can, in turn, be used for power generation.
Skills and experience
As a successful applicant you should have an interest in catalysis, electrochemistry and/or computational modelling.
Scholarships
You may be able to apply for a research scholarship in our annual scholarship round.
