该项目旨在通过太阳能驱动的光电化学分解水来实现高效的可再生氢气生产。作为一种无碳排放的过程，光电化学分解水在太阳能供氢中具有重要意义。其关键思想是使用缺陷工程策略设计创新的光电极材料，从而使太阳能更有效地转化为氢。预期的结果包括新材料的高太阳能到氢能转换效率和先进材料设计的尖端知识。该项目的成功将有助于澳大利亚国家氢战略的实施，并使该国处于可再生氢供应技术的前沿。

The project aims to achieve efficient renewable hydrogen production through solar driven photoelectrochemical water splitting. As a carbon-emission free process, photoelectrochemical water splitting is significant in solar hydrogen supply. The key idea is to design innovative photoelectrode materials using defect engineering strategy which allows more efficient conversion of solar energy to hydrogen. The expected outcomes include high Solar-to-Hydrogen conversion efficiency on the new materials and cutting-edge knowledge in advanced material design. The success of this project will contribute to the implementation of the Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy and position the nation at the frontier of renewable hydrogen supply technologies.
