Conversion of biowastes to porous carbon materials for green catalysis

该项目旨在开发一系列生物废物衍生的多孔碳和单原子锚定多孔碳催化剂，用于降解水中新出现的微污染物。在系统地开发负担得起的、简便的、生产性的和可持续的方法方面，期望有创新。通过面向反应的结构设计，将在原子水平上使用材料工程和先进纯化技术中的计算和原位表征来定义新概念。预期的成果将提供水修复的绿色纳米技术的基础知识。成功将确保澳大利亚的可持续发展未来，清洁水和相关领域的先进制造战略。

This project aims to develop a family of biowaste-derived porous carbon and single-atom-anchored porous carbon catalysts for the degradation of emerging microcontaminants in water. Innovations are expected in systematically developing affordable, facile, productive, and sustainable approaches. Via reaction-oriented structure design, new concept will be defined at the atomic level using calculations and in situ characterisations in material engineering and advanced purification technology. The anticipated outcomes will provide fundamental knowledge in green nanotechnologies for water remediation. Success will secure a sustainable future for Australia with clean water and strategies for advanced manufacturing in relevant areas.
