Nonmetals for green catalysis

该建议旨在开发非金属材料和技术，用于前沿性绿色催化，目标是通过催化氧化过程降解污染物和化学合成。该项目将系统地揭示非金属元素在多相催化中的内在本质，制定合理的设计原则，实现智能纳米材料和集成绿色催化系统的放大，以实现高活性和高选择性。这项跨学科的研究将在水处理和精细化工合成方面为澳大利亚工业带来好处，促进澳大利亚在绿色技术方面的研发，从自然资源和工业废物中合成催化剂，并促进强大的可持续成果。

This proposal aims to develop nonmetal materials and technologies for frontier green catalysis that is targeted to contaminant degradation and chemical synthesis by catalytic oxidation processes. The project will systematically unveil the intrinsic nature of nonmetal elements in heterogeneous catalysis, develop rational design principles, and achieve scaling-up of intelligent nanomaterials and integrated green catalytic systems for high reactivity and selectivity. This cross-disciplinary research will deliver benefits to Australian industry in water treatment and fine chemical synthesis, foster Australian R&D in green technologies, synthesise catalysts from natural resources and industrial waste, and promote strong sustainability outcomes.
