This project aims to reduce the cost of current water splitting technology by making new catalysts from earth abundant materials that will ensure a sustainable technological solution for the storage of renewable energy. This technology is an excellent solution to storing energy from intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar as it generates hydrogen which is a clean fuel. Using new techniques that can image the catalyst at the nanoscale while it is operating is expected to provide the knowledge for developing the next generation of water splitting electrolysers that can be utilised by households and businesses for storing solar or wind energy.

该项目旨在通过从地球丰富的材料中制造新的催化剂来降低目前水分解技术的成本，这将确保可再生能源储存的可持续技术解决方案。这项技术是从间歇性可再生能源（如太阳能）中储存能量的绝佳解决方案，因为它产生氢，这是一种清洁燃料。使用新技术，可以在纳米尺度上对催化剂进行成像，预计将为开发下一代水分解电解槽提供知识，这些电解槽可供家庭和企业用于储存太阳能或风能。
