This project aims to achieve efficient photoelectrocatalytic partial oxidation of greenhouse gas methane for methanol production with high selectivity. The program will design new semiconductor materials through rational defect engineering and co-catalyst selection to revolutionise methane conversion. The expected outcomes include sustainable processes to convert methane into valuable liquid chemicals like methanol, and comprehensive understanding on functional material design for solar driven catalytic reactions. The significant benefits will include revolutionary methane mitigation technologies and sustainable processes for value-added chemical production, alleviating key environmental and energy challenges facing Australia and the world.

该项目旨在实现温室气体甲烷的高效光电催化部分氧化，用于高选择性甲醇生产。该计划将通过合理的缺陷工程和助催化剂选择来设计新的半导体材料，以彻底改变甲烷的转化。预期的结果包括将甲烷转化为有价值的液体化学品（如甲醇）的可持续过程，以及对太阳能驱动催化反应的功能材料设计的全面理解。重大利益将包括革命性的甲烷减排技术和增值化学品生产的可持续过程，减轻澳大利亚和世界面临的关键环境和能源挑战。
