该项目旨在开发用于可持续能源应用的多功能二维垂直异质结构。制造二维垂直异质结构的一个关键挑战是层状材料的重新堆叠。该项目将利用边缘丰富的垂直石墨烯，通过结合单个构建块的优点，同时减轻相关缺点，释放2D垂直异质结构的全部潜力。预期的结果将包括改善材料的电化学性能和利用这些多功能材料的综合能源系统，以低成本和高效率生产绿色氢。该项目将在很大程度上有助于澳大利亚向强劲且负担得起的清洁能源过渡。

This project aims to develop multi-functional 2D vertical heterostructures for sustainable energy applications. A key challenge in fabricating 2D vertical heterostructures is the re-stacking of layered materials. This project will utilize edge-rich vertical graphene to unleash the full potential of 2D vertical heterostructures by combining the advantages of individual building blocks while mitigating the associated shortcomings. Expected outcomes will include improved electrochemical performance of materials and an integrated energy system utilizing these multi-functional materials to produce green hydrogen at low cost and high efficiency. The project should contribute largely to Australia’s transition to robust and affordable clean energy.
