This project aims to develop advanced photocatalysts that can efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide from just water, air, and sunlight. By mimicking the structure and function of the natural photosynthetic apparatus, the key innovations are expected in the design of reaction-oriented conjugated polymer-based photocatalysts at the atomic and molecular nanostructure levels. It expects to generate new knowledge in artificial photosynthesis and rational design of functional materials, and sustainable technology for hydrogen peroxide production. This cross-disciplinary research will benefit Australia by the development of biomimetic catalysts for advancing solar energy conversion and enabling sustainable manufacturing of commodity chemicals.

该项目旨在开发先进的光催化剂，可以有效地从水，空气和阳光中生产过氧化氢。通过模拟天然光合机构的结构和功能，在原子和分子纳米结构水平上设计反应导向的基于共轭聚合物的光催化剂有望成为关键创新。它有望在人工光合作用和功能材料的合理设计以及过氧化氢生产的可持续技术方面产生新的知识。这项跨学科研究将使澳大利亚受益，因为它将开发仿生催化剂，以促进太阳能转化，并实现商品化学品的可持续制造。
