Funded Activity Summary

Alloy catalyst design for synthesis of graphene and boron nitride sheets. This project aims to use computational methods to determine the optimal catalyst for growth of high quality, continuous films, a crucial scientific problem in the synthesis of two dimensional materials. It will use first-principles calculations to explore the growth of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride on several designed alloy catalysts and develop a physical model to understand the mechanism of the chemical vapour deposition growth of the materials. The alloy catalyst design is expected to lead to experimental routes to synthesise high-quality and large-area graphene and hexagonal boron nitride films and accelerate the industrial application of two-dimensional nanomaterials. This will promote their application in catalysis, sensors, electronics, energy storage and increase Australia’s competitive advantage in synthesis of high-performance materials.
