Multi-angle in-operando mapping of nanoscale electro/photo-redox reactions

该项目旨在建立澳大利亚第一个多参数映射纳米电极显微镜（MMNM）平台。电/光催化纳米器件性能的改善需要理解纳米催化剂在实际反应环境中的基本电子过程，而这是通过标准（光）电化学技术无法实现的。作为澳大利亚第一个MMNM设施，该项目将建立一个综合的国内平台，为应对气候变化、能源、环境和材料科学等领域的全球重大研究挑战提供强大的新型电/光催化纳米工具。拟议中的多样化研究合作将扩大材料科学和工程领域的新知识，帮助澳大利亚继续提供世界一流的研究，并为澳大利亚带来多种经济效益的潜力。

This project aims to establish Australia's first Multiparameter Mapping Nanoelectrode Microscope (MMNM) platform. The improvement of electro/photo-catalytic nanodevice performance requires an understanding of the nanocatalysts’ fundamental electronic processes in practical reaction environments, and this is not achievable by standard (photo) electrochemical techniques. As Australia’s first MMNM facility, the project will establish an integrated domestic platform to provide powerful new electro/photo-catalysis nano tools for addressing globally-significant research challenges in fields such as climate-change, energy, environment and materials science. The proposed diverse research cooperation will expand new knowledge in materials science and engineering, help Australia to continue to deliver world-class research, and bring with it the potential for multiple economic benefits for Australia.
