Conversion of biowastes to porous carbon materials for green catalysis

该项目旨在开发一系列生物废物衍生的多孔碳和单原子锚定多孔碳催化剂，用于降解水中新出现的微污染物。人们期望在系统地开发负担得起的、方便的、高效的和可持续的方法方面进行创新。通过以反应为导向的结构设计，新概念将在原子水平上使用计算和材料工程和先进净化技术的原位表征来定义。预期的结果将为水修复的绿色纳米技术提供基础知识。成功将确保澳大利亚在相关领域拥有清洁水和先进制造业战略的可持续未来。

This project aims to develop a family of biowaste-derived porous carbon and single-atom-anchored porous carbon catalysts for the degradation of emerging microcontaminants in water. Innovations are expected in systematically developing affordable, facile, productive, and sustainable approaches. Via reaction-oriented structure design, new concept will be defined at the atomic level using calculations and in situ characterisations in material engineering and advanced purification technology. The anticipated outcomes will provide fundamental knowledge in green nanotechnologies for water remediation. Success will secure a sustainable future for Australia with clean water and strategies for advanced manufacturing in relevant areas.
