Single-atom anchored photocatalysts for solar ammonia production

本项目旨在通过先进的表征和理论计算相结合的方法，开发具有优异活性、选择性和稳定性的单原子锚定二维光催化剂，用于太阳光驱动光催化氮气还原制氨。该项目将有助于对光催化制氨中活性、选择性和稳定性的性质和来源的基础知识。该项目有望实现高性能、高性价比的太阳能制氨。该项目不仅将减少澳大利亚对不可再生化石燃料的需求，还将缓解澳大利亚的环境污染、温室效应和气候变化。

This project aims to develop single-atom anchored two-dimensional photocatalysts with outstanding activity, selectivity and stability for sunlight-driven photocatalytic nitrogen reduction to produce ammonia via combining advanced characterizations and theoretical calculations. This project will contribute to the fundamental knowledge on the nature and origin of the activity, selectivity and stability in photocatalytic ammonia production. High-performance and cost-effective solar ammonia production is expected to achieve in this project. This project will not only reduce the Australia’s demand for non-renewable fossil fuels, but also alleviate the environmental contamination, greenhouse effect and climate change in Australia.
