Nanoscale electrochemical imaging of catalyst inks for water oxidation

该项目旨在通过利用地球上丰富的材料制造新的催化剂来降低当前水分解技术的成本，以确保可持续的可再生能源存储技术解决方案。这项技术是储存来自太阳能等间歇性可再生能源的能量的极佳解决方案，因为它产生氢气，氢气是一种清洁燃料。使用可以在催化剂运行时在纳米级对其进行成像的新技术，预计将为开发下一代分水电解器提供知识，这些电解器可以被家庭和企业用来储存太阳能或风能。

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.
