This ambitious project aims to develop a new concept of monolithic membranes composed of photocatalysts embedded in highly efficient solar thermal graphene. Such a membrane will be first of its kind and is able to utilise full solar spectrum for scalable seawater desalination and direct splitting to produce hydrogen without the need to concentrate sunlight. Expected outcomes include chemically and structurally tailored membranes and 2D floating prototypes for real life hydrogen production, and in-depth understanding of working mechanism to facilitate up-scaled renewable hydrogen generation. Significant benefits in minimising fossil fuel consumption, increasing energy security, and expanding competitive clean energy industry are promised.

这一雄心勃勃的项目旨在开发一种由嵌入高效太阳能热石墨烯的光催化剂组成的整体膜的新概念。这种薄膜将是此类薄膜中的第一种，能够利用整个太阳光谱进行可伸缩的海水淡化和直接裂解来生产氢气，而不需要集中阳光。预期成果包括在化学和结构上量身定做的膜和用于现实生活中制氢的2D浮动原型，以及对促进扩大可再生氢能生产的工作机制的深入了解。在最大限度地减少化石燃料消耗、提高能源安全和扩大具有竞争力的清洁能源行业方面，中国有望获得重大好处。
