This project aims to design multifunctional, noble metal-free, and highly ordered mesoporous fullerene with a high conductivity and different porous structures, functionalised with nitrogen and/or metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in both powder and film forms. The most promising, stable, and highly efficient noble metal-free electrode catalyst system will be designed with the functionalised mesoporous fullerenes for polymer electrolyte membrane and direct methanol fuel cells. This novel highly efficient and low cost electrode system for fuel cells aims to help address clean energy generation and environmental problems and create new opportunities for Australian industries.

该项目旨在设计多功能、无贵金属和高度有序的介孔富勒烯，具有高导电性和不同的多孔结构，并以粉末和薄膜形式使用氮气和/或金属和金属氧化物纳米颗粒进行功能化。将功能化介孔富勒烯用于聚合物电解质膜和直接甲醇燃料电池，将设计出最有前途、稳定和高效的无贵金属电极催化体系。这一新型高效、低成本的燃料电池电极系统旨在帮助解决清洁能源发电和环境问题，并为澳大利亚工业创造新的机遇。
