Methanol is an ideal hydrogen carrier due to its low cost, high hydrogen content, and liquid phase for easy storage and transport but facing problems with hydrogen release. This project aims to achieve cost-effective and emission-free methanol conversion for on-demand hydrogen production. The key concept is the rational design of high-performance single-atom catalytic materials for solar-powered photocatalytic methanol conversion to hydrogen and value-added chemical formaldehyde with high productivity and selectivity. Expected outcomes include cutting-edge knowledge in the synthesis of functional materials and technology for efficient methanol-to-hydrogen conversion, contributing to the development of the hydrogen economy in Australia.

甲醇具有成本低、含氢量高、液态易储存和运输等优点，是一种理想的氢气载体，但存在释氢问题。该项目旨在实现低成本、零排放的甲醇转化，用于按需制氢。关键概念是合理设计高性能的单原子催化材料，用于太阳能光催化甲醇转化为氢气和高附加值的化学甲醛，具有高生产率和高选择性。预期成果包括功能材料合成方面的尖端知识和高效甲醇转化为氢的技术，为澳大利亚氢经济的发展做出贡献。
