Funded Activity Summary

Black titanium dioxide-graphene nanoleaves drive solid-gas selective carbon dioxide to solar fuels. This project aims to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as part of a reaction to produce a carbon-neutral solar fuel. People are currently still over reliant on fossil fuels for energy production, which leads to increased greenhouse gases and their detrimental climate effect. This project will develop novel wireless sustainable nano-reactors, which can be scaled to a system working in an ambient environment for high-yield production. The expected outcomes are to synthesise nano-flowers composed of 2D functional nano-leaves, which will be fabricated into a flexible large-area carbon dioxide-to-solar fuel system. This project will also expand knowledge in heterojunctions, surface chemistry and nano-manufacturing of 2D materials. The technology to be developed will only rely on natural solar, atmospheric, and earth-abundant eco-friendly resources, and intends to promote Australia as a key regional solar fuels production and export nation.
