2D nanomaterial heterostructures for photocatalytic hydrogen production

本计画旨在开发二维奈米异质结构材料，作为光触媒以甲醇为液态载剂生产氢气。除了利用澳大利亚原材料的光催化技术转型外，该项目还有望在光化学，材料科学和纳米技术领域产生新的知识。这些不仅应该将2D纳米材料的应用扩展到光催化剂的新领域，而且最终可能导致2D纳米材料在“氢经济”方面的新工业进步。

This project aims to develop two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial heterostructures as photocatalysts for hydrogen production from the liquid carrier of methanol. In addition to transformational photocatalytic technology to utilise Australian raw resources, this project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of photochemistry, materials science and nanotechnology. These should not only expand the applications of 2D nanomaterials to a new domain of photocatalysts, but also may eventually lead to new industry advances in 2D nanomaterials for a ‘hydrogen economy’.
