Designing a photo-electro-catalysis system for selective organic oxidation

这项研究旨在建立新的复合材料，以实现用于可再生氢气生产的下一代有机电解槽。在澳大利亚成为可再生氢出口国的努力中，水电解被视为领先的技术。采用有机电解法作为一种替代方案具有其他好处，包括更低的能源投入和增值的化学品生产(与氢气一起)，抵消了成本。在控制有机产品的选择性和限制二氧化碳的产生方面存在挑战。该项目旨在提供一种利用互补现象(光激活、可控极性、磁响应)来解决上述挑战的系统。

The research aims to establish new composite materials to enable realisation of next generation organic electrolysers for renewable hydrogen production. Water electrolysis is seen as the front-running technology in Australia's drive to be a renewable hydrogen exporter. Significant opportunity exists in adopting organic electrolysis as an alternative with additional benefits, including lower energy input and value-added chemical production (alongside H2), off-setting costs. Challenges exist with controlling organic product selectivity and restricting carbon dioxide generation. The project intends to deliver a system which uses complementary phenomena (light activation, controllable polarity, magnetic response) to resolve said challenges.
