Funded Activity Summary
Computational design of titanium dioxide-based ceramics for the renewable energy technology platform: Solar-Hydrogen. Hydrogen is a clean non-polluting fuel. Production of hydrogen (Solar-Hydrogen) directly from water and sunlight is a very appealing renewable energy technology. The key requirement to allow this technology to be adopted is finding an electrically suitable material. This research program takes an innovative approach by combining state of the art computational techniques to engineer advanced ceramics having sophisticated electrical signatures. These ceramics will be synthesized in a partner experimental program to gauge their efficiencies for hydrogen production. The program will provide the foundation for a renewable energy technology that will provide clean energy and energy independence for Australia.Funded Activity Details
