The aim is to produce the fundamental science for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals through an advanced electrocatalytic approach using abundant small-molecule sources like water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides as feedstocks. A range of highly active and selective electrode catalysts will be developed for electrolysis processes at ambient temperatures and pressures, by an interdisciplinary approach combining atomic-level material design principles, in situ/ex situ instrumental techniques, and modern computation methods. The expected outcomes will be of great significance for renewable energy use and clean fuel generation – the major energy and environmental challenges facing Australia and the world.

其目的是通过先进的电催化方法，使用丰富的小分子来源，如水，二氧化碳和氮氧化物作为原料，为燃料和化学品的可持续生产提供基础科学。一系列高活性和选择性的电极催化剂将在环境温度和压力下的电解过程中开发，通过跨学科的方法结合原子级材料设计原理，原位/非原位仪器技术和现代计算方法。预期成果将对可再生能源的使用和清洁燃料发电--澳大利亚和世界面临的主要能源和环境挑战--具有重大意义。
