Low cost catalyst fabrication technique for improving selective conversion of CO2

The large-scale application of renewable energy driven electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) systems require efficient and cost-effective catalysts.

Crystal facet engineering - our new article in J. Material Chemistry A

Charge separation within a semiconductor plays a critical role in defining photocatalytic activity.

Not just a tale: Light pre-treatment boost oxygen activation in Au, Pt, or Pd/TiO2

In recently published article in ACS Catalysis, our researcher in collaboration with the Integrated Materials Design Centre, showed that light pre-treatment of Platinum loaded onto TiO2 nanoparticles can boost catalytic oxygen activation.

How this PhD student save the world and making booze

Rising levels of CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere has attracted considerable interest in technologies capable of CO2 capture, storage and conversion.

Polymer roles in enhancing PEC charge transport in ZnO semiconductor photocatalyst

ZnO as semiconductor photocatalyst have received a lot more attention lately due to its higher electron mobility as well as charge diffusion coefficient compared to TiO2.

The use of surrogate chemical and microbiological factors to predict the chloroamine demand

In collaboration with SA Water, Water Corporation (Western Australia) and Central Highlands Water, the researcher from PARTCAT group develop a chloroamine demand model which could be useful for both drinking water quality management and treatment plant operational management.

A hybrid energy harvesting-storage device - solution to the unpredictable and unstable energy output in PV electricity generation

In this recently published communication, our researchers report a novel hybrid energy harvesting-storage architecture consisting of anodic amorphous MoOx (a-MoOx) pseudocapacitive electrode monolithically integrated on the rear Al electrode of an industrial screen-printed Si soalr cell.

A novel 3D porous silver foam catalyst for effective CO2 reduction reaction

One of the common problem in using electrocatalyst in the CO2 reduction process is a trade-off between product selectivity and product generation rate, where Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2RRR compete with each other.
