The Fellowship aims to develop next-generation materials that harness solar energy to produce valuable fuels and chemicals from water and carbon dioxide, replacing fossil fuels. The program will design new semiconductor materials to revolutionise solar-to-fuel technologies that currently have very low efficiency. The expected outcomes include innovative systems such as wireless artificial leaves that mimic natural photosynthesis for efficient hydrocarbon production, carbon dioxide reduction, and water purification. The expected benefits include next-generation solar fuel and chemical generation technologies, and research capabilities to position Australia as a global leader in the transition to a decarbonised economy.

该奖学金旨在开发下一代材料，利用太阳能从水和二氧化碳中生产有价值的燃料和化学品，取代化石燃料。该计划将设计新的半导体材料，以彻底改变目前效率非常低的太阳能转化为燃料的技术。预期的成果包括创新系统，如模拟自然光合作用的无线人造树叶，以有效地生产碳氢化合物、减少二氧化碳和净水。预期的好处包括下一代太阳能燃料和化学发电技术，以及将澳大利亚定位为向脱碳经济转型的全球领先者的研究能力。
