The project encompasses cutting-edge work in nanotechnology and advanced materials, covering aspects of carbon nanotubes and their applications, along with fuel cell technology. It will provide unique insights into the phenomena of the nanoworld, including manipulation of nanotubes, and nanoscale oxidation behaviour and temperature measurement. The scientific and engineering understanding acquired through this project is vital for solving the problems that limit the wide application of fuel cells. Ultimately, full commercialisation of fuel cells will provide significant environmental benefits by increasing the use of renewable energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
