This project will develop a unique catalyst system where single atom catalysts are seeded in 2D nanomaterial based membranes. The planned material development will allow study of the catalysis process under nanoconfinement and realisation of the dual system for both precise molecular separation and atomic scale catalysis. By confining the catalysts in nanometre-size pores located in the 2D laminate membrane, we will tailor and investigate the interfaces between catalysts and 2D nanomaterials by taking advantages of rich surface chemistry of 2D nanosheets, and evaluate the membrane separation performance of bio-products from their complex reactants system in the biorefinery process. This project also involves theoretical study using various computational modelling techniques. The outcome of the project will enable highly efficient catalysis processes and provide fundamental understanding in catalysis at the atomic scale.

该项目将开发一种独特的催化剂系统，其中将单原子催化剂接种在基于2D纳米材料的膜中。计划中的材料开发将允许在纳米限制下研究催化过程，并实现精确分子分离和原子级催化的双重系统。通过将催化剂限制在位于2D层压膜中的纳米尺寸孔中，我们将利用2D纳米片丰富的表面化学来定制和研究催化剂与2D纳米材料之间的界面，并评估生物精炼过程中生物产物从其复杂反应物体系中的膜分离性能。该项目还涉及使用各种计算建模技术的理论研究。该项目的成果将实现高效的催化过程，并提供对原子尺度催化的基本理解。
