Summary
Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework for Next-Generation Batteries. This project aims to develop advanced two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) materials for sodium and potassium-ion batteries. It expects to generate a new family of few-layered 2D COF materials and their 2D-2D heterostructured composites with improved electrochemical properties, and develop processing technologies and fundamental understanding of COF-based electrodes for flexible sodium and potassium-ion ba ....Two-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework for Next-Generation Batteries. This project aims to develop advanced two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) materials for sodium and potassium-ion batteries. It expects to generate a new family of few-layered 2D COF materials and their 2D-2D heterostructured composites with improved electrochemical properties, and develop processing technologies and fundamental understanding of COF-based electrodes for flexible sodium and potassium-ion batteries. Expected outcomes include novel materials, technologies, and energy-storage options for Australia. Significant economic and environmental benefits are expected from developing advanced sodium and potassium-ion batteries with low cost, high energy density, and improved safety for renewable energy storage.Read moreRead less

Summary
Carbon-based Metal-free Catalysis: An Emerging Field with Great Potential. Catalysis is a major field and noble metal catalysts play a key role in renewable energy technologies, chemical and environmental processes. However, the scarcity and high cost of noble metals have caused sustainability problems. Since this Laureate applicant discovered the first metal-free carbon catalyst for energy, carbon-based metal-free catalysis rapidly became a promising emerging field, but many scientific question ....Carbon-based Metal-free Catalysis: An Emerging Field with Great Potential. Catalysis is a major field and noble metal catalysts play a key role in renewable energy technologies, chemical and environmental processes. However, the scarcity and high cost of noble metals have caused sustainability problems. Since this Laureate applicant discovered the first metal-free carbon catalyst for energy, carbon-based metal-free catalysis rapidly became a promising emerging field, but many scientific questions remain unsolved. In this program, innovative approaches will be developed to produce never-before-realized catalytic active centres of a controlled location and structure for mechanistic understanding to enable future breakthroughs in metal-free catalysis and a broad range of technology with far ranging applications.Read moreRead less
