Innovations in Green Chemical Manufacture from Synchrotron based Techniques

该项目旨在通过开发新的催化剂，找到生产商品化学品的可持续方法。将开发和应用新的同步加速器技术，以提供有关影响电子转移、氧化还原反应和扩散的选择性和效率的空间和时间因素的新知识，这些因素是催化剂设计的关键。预期成果包括开发新的催化剂、新的催化剂设计概念和一个知识库/分析观察数据库，这是解锁新材料知识的关键。这将使澳大利亚走在可持续生产商品化学品的前列，从而带来重大的经济和环境效益。

This project aims to find sustainable ways to produce commodity chemicals by developing new catalysts. New synchrotron techniques will be developed and applied to provide new knowledge about the spatial and temporal factors affecting the selectivity and efficiency of electron transfer, redox reactions and diffusion, key for catalyst design. Expected outcomes include the development of new catalysts, new catalyst design concepts and a knowledge repository/database of analytical observations key for unlocking new materials knowledge. This should provide significant economic and environmental benefits by placing Australia at the forefront of the sustainable production of commodity chemicals.
