Summary
Interface engineering of 2D materials for advanced battery application. The fast-growing energy storage market demands new devices with both high energy and power density. This project aims to understand and then engineering electrode-electrolyte interfaces using novel two-dimensional (2D) materials to achieve accelerated ion transport and enhanced surface redox reactions. Advanced in-situ and ex-situ characterization tools, including X-ray scattering, neutron scattering, and terahertz time-doma ....Interface engineering of 2D materials for advanced battery application. The fast-growing energy storage market demands new devices with both high energy and power density. This project aims to understand and then engineering electrode-electrolyte interfaces using novel two-dimensional (2D) materials to achieve accelerated ion transport and enhanced surface redox reactions. Advanced in-situ and ex-situ characterization tools, including X-ray scattering, neutron scattering, and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, will be employed to study energy storage mechanisms. Novel solid-state batteries will be demonstrated based on well-designed electrodes using 2D materials. This project will boost the standing of Australia in the global competition of developing more efficient energy storage devices. Read moreRead less
Characterisation and Development of Dynamic Supramolecular Combinatorial Libraries. The discovery of biologically active molecules, in particular drug discovery, requires the design and synthesis of host molecules that bind selectively to the biological target. Combinatorial chemistry has greatly assisted this discovery process as it allows the rapid screening of large collections of molecules.

The discovery of biologically active molecules, in particular drug discovery, requires the design and synthesis of host molecules that bind selectively to the biological target. Combinatorial chemistry has greatly assisted this discovery process as it allows the rapid screening of large collections of molecules. In this proposal, metal ion interactions will be used in the combinatorial library as this will greatly increases the diversity of the pool of compounds to be screened for activity. Understanding how to generate and analyze these libraries has potential applications in drug screening, the discovery of new substrates, enzymes and inhibitors. Read moreRead less
