Materials for Sustainability Analysis Facility

该项目旨在委托两种仪器来表征可持续技术中使用的材料：最先进的光致力显微镜和红外光谱系统（PiF-IR）和台式电子顺磁共振（EPR）光谱仪。这两种关键仪器目前在南澳大利亚都没有。该项目希望引入这些功能，以增强可持续材料的各种项目。预期的成果包括在太阳能电池材料、可充电电池、污染控制吸收剂和可回收材料方面的新发现。预计基础材料科学将获得重大收益，并对工业和环境产生后续收益。

This project aims to commission two instruments for characterising materials used in sustainable technologies: a state-of-the art photo-induced force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy system (PiF-IR) and a benchtop electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. Neither of these critical instruments are currently available in South Australia. This project expects to introduce these capabilities to enhance diverse projects in sustainable materials. Expected outcomes include new discoveries in materials for solar cells, rechargeable batteries, sorbents for pollution control, and recyclable materials. Significant benefits are anticipated for fundamental material science with follow on benefits to industry and the environment.
