An advanced thermogravimetric analysis system for world-leading research in clean energy, catalysis, material science and nanotechnology

固体材料在加热过程中发生的许多化学反应会显著影响材料的稳定性，进而影响清洁能源生产、材料合成、催化剂制备和纳米技术等过程。目前在澳大利亚没有任何设备可以缓解材料加工过程中这种反应的各种条件。这种情况阻碍了澳大利亚的研究进展，使澳大利亚的研究学生处于不利地位，最终使我们的研究在国际上缺乏竞争力。拟议机构的建立将提高澳大利亚科学和工程的竞争力，并有助于开发对澳大利亚经济和环境可持续性至关重要的澳大利亚新技术。

Many chemical reactions occurring in solid materials during heating significantly affect the materials' stability, and subsequently affects the processes of production of clean energy, material synthesis, catalyst preparation, and nanotechnology. No equipment currently exists in Australia that will mitigate the wide range of conditions in such reactions in materials processing. This situation impedes research progress in Australia, disadvantages Australian research students, and ultimately makes our research less competitive internationally. The establishment of the proposed apparatus will increase the competitiveness of Australian science and engineering, and contribute to the development of new Australian technologies that are important to the Australian economy and to environmental sustainability.
