Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP0771344

Funded Activity Summary

Development and structural characterisation of carbide-derived carbon membranes and their application in separation. This research addresses a key challenge in gas separation crucial to our energy future and environmental sustainability, while harnessing the potential of carbide derived carbons. The project has a multitude of benefits for Australia, not only because it contributes to on-going research on carbon dioxide sequestration and utilization of alternate fuels, but because it will see a new generation of Australian researchers trained in multidisciplinary cutting-edge research while addressing several areas of national priority, including reducing emissions, breakthrough sciences, development of frontier technologies and advanced materials, and thereby creating new opportunities for industry.
