The demand for clean, secure and sustainable energy sources has stimulated great interest in electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies such as water splitting and fuel cells. The efficiency of water splitting and fuel cells is however strongly dependent on the activity of the electrocatalysts. The objective of the project is to develop new electrocatalysts based on the recently discovered phenomena that carbon nanotubes with specific size and number of walls are very active and significantly promote the reaction of water splitting and fuel cells. The proposed project is expected to open a new research field in the development of new electrocatalysts and photoelectrocatalysts for advanced energy conversion and storage technologies.

对清洁、安全和可持续能源的需求激发了人们对电化学能量储存和转换技术的极大兴趣，例如水分解和燃料电池。然而，水分解和燃料电池的效率强烈依赖于电催化剂的活性。该项目的目标是根据最近发现的现象开发新的电催化剂，即具有特定尺寸和壁数的碳纳米管非常活跃，并显着促进水分解和燃料电池的反应。拟议的项目预计将开辟一个新的研究领域，开发新的电催化剂和光电催化剂，用于先进的能量转换和储存技术。
