Nanoscale electrochemical imaging of catalyst inks for water oxidation

该项目旨在通过从地球上丰富的材料中制造新的催化剂来降低当前水分解技术的成本，这将确保可再生能源存储的可持续技术解决方案。这项技术是储存太阳能等间歇性可再生能源的绝佳解决方案，因为它能产生清洁燃料氢。利用可以在纳米尺度上对催化剂进行成像的新技术，有望为开发下一代分解水的电解槽提供知识，这些电解槽可以被家庭和企业用于储存太阳能或风能。

This project aims to reduce the cost of current water splitting technology by making new catalysts from earth abundant materials that will ensure a sustainable technological solution for the storage of renewable energy. This technology is an excellent solution to storing energy from intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar as it generates hydrogen which is a clean fuel. Using new techniques that can image the catalyst at the nanoscale while it is operating is expected to provide the knowledge for developing the next generation of water splitting electrolysers that can be utilised by households and businesses for storing solar or wind energy.
