The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Diatomic Electrocatalysts for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Conversion. This project will create novel electrocatalysts to produce valuable C2 compounds (ethylene, ethanol and ethylene glycol) from carbon dioxide reduction reaction. The precise catalyst structure control remains challenging but is crucial for pushing catalyst performance towards practical applications.

This project will create novel electrocatalysts to produce valuable C2 compounds (ethylene, ethanol and ethylene glycol) from carbon dioxide reduction reaction. The precise catalyst structure control remains challenging but is crucial for pushing catalyst performance towards practical applications. By innovating organic macrocycle molecules as precursors, this project will generate a new paradigm of diatomic electrocatalysts with structure control precision at atomic-scale. Such catalysts are expected to deliver high catalytic performance to accelerate the transformation to a carbon-neutral future. Synchronously, they will also serve as an ideal platform for in-depth mechanism study and establishing guidelines for rational catalyst design Read moreRead less

Progress towards commercial devices for solar-driven hydrogen generation as well as in-situ electricity generation for vehicles is currently hampered by a lack of earth-abundant, stable, non-toxic semiconductor materials that can be fabricated by scalable methods. This project aims to develop the first scalable solution synthesis methods for a new class of earth-abundant Zn-based nitride semiconductor nanocrystals that have favourable bond ionicity and establish their optoelectronic properties for renewable energy devices for the first time. Flexible solution processing methods will be exploited to tune surface composition, remove defects and create devices to achieve optimised performance in these challenging new nitride material systems.Read moreRead less
