Summary
A surface characterisation facility. This surface characterisation facility will provide scientists with an understanding of material's surfaces and interfaces. This will lead to a range of new technologies and innovative solutions required to address the many resource and environmental challenges facing our planet now and in the future.
Charge storage mechanism and transport behaviour in nanoporous carbons: implications on developing next-generation electric double-layer capacitors. This project aims to investigate the charge storage mechanism and ion transport behaviours in nanoporous carbons of different pore geometries. Such understandings will have profound implications on designing innovative electrode materials with tailored pore structure for new-generation electric double-layer capacitors.
Nano-engineered multi-functional materials for catalysis and sensing by an integrated chemical and electrochemical approach. This project aims to deliver a facile and cheap method to produce a class of nanostructured materials to be used in applications which will have environmental and social benefits such as: green synthesis of fine chemicals, catalyst development for clean energy fuel cells and sensor technology for the detection of potent biotoxins.
