Summary
Ammonium-selective membranes to shift water industry into circular economy. The project aims to develop ammonium-selective membranes which are urgently needed in Australian key industries for sustainable ammonia recovery. The project expects to construct the membranes to achieve desirable pore size and surface functionality for fast and selective ammonia transport. The developed membranes should make ammonia recovery from wastewater more effective and sustainable, leading to the healthy waterway ....Ammonium-selective membranes to shift water industry into circular economy. The project aims to develop ammonium-selective membranes which are urgently needed in Australian key industries for sustainable ammonia recovery. The project expects to construct the membranes to achieve desirable pore size and surface functionality for fast and selective ammonia transport. The developed membranes should make ammonia recovery from wastewater more effective and sustainable, leading to the healthy waterway and reduced energy for both ammonia production and removal. Recovered ammonia expects to produce valuable products, supporting agriculture industry and hydrogen economy. The developed membranes should enable water industry's shift into circular economy, providing significant economic and environmental benefits to Australia.Read moreRead less
Nanoscale heating towards high efficient nitrogen reduction reduction. This project aims to develop nanoscale heating technique using AC magnetic field for efficient synthesis of ammonia, widely used for fertiliser and having potential for hydrogen storage. This project is to introduce nanoscale heating concept by heating catalyst only but not solution in electrochemical catalysis to achieve high catalytic activity. Expected outcome is the creation of low cost catalysts having high selectivity a ....Nanoscale heating towards high efficient nitrogen reduction reduction. This project aims to develop nanoscale heating technique using AC magnetic field for efficient synthesis of ammonia, widely used for fertiliser and having potential for hydrogen storage. This project is to introduce nanoscale heating concept by heating catalyst only but not solution in electrochemical catalysis to achieve high catalytic activity. Expected outcome is the creation of low cost catalysts having high selectivity and formation rate for ammonia production. This unique technology has the potential to replace current ammonia production based on Haber-Bosch process, which consumes 2% of world energy and contributes 3% of overall CO2 emission. The project provides opportunities for new industries that will benefit Australian economy.Read moreRead less

Summary
Cryogenic Scanning Microwave Measurement Facility for Quantum Materials. This proposal addresses a major experimental capacity gap in Australian infrastructure for research and development of novel electronic materials and nanoscale quantum devices for future technologies. It will establish Australia's first non-contact, non-destructive, cryogenic scanning microwave microscopy facility for advanced materials characterization enabling new studies of these materials in the 2 to 300 Kelvin temperat ....Cryogenic Scanning Microwave Measurement Facility for Quantum Materials. This proposal addresses a major experimental capacity gap in Australian infrastructure for research and development of novel electronic materials and nanoscale quantum devices for future technologies. It will establish Australia's first non-contact, non-destructive, cryogenic scanning microwave microscopy facility for advanced materials characterization enabling new studies of these materials in the 2 to 300 Kelvin temperature range. The facility will provide crucial new information for the development of future quantum materials, enhancing our international competitiveness in the development of next-generation electronic materials and device technologies.Read moreRead less
