Funded Activity Summary

Metal-support interactions: single atoms Vs nanoclusters. This project aims to fundamentally understand the catalytic mechanism at an atomic level through metal-metal and metal-metal/support interactions. The optimised configuration of active sites for a specific reaction is consequently identified, providing the design principles of novel catalysts. The precisely control of synthesis for such active sites and assembly of the target active sites into a catalyst will deliver a completely new methodology for catalyst development. The expected outcomes from this project include new science and knowledge of Chemistry, new design philosophy and strategies for catalysts, and the highly efficient catalysts for electrocatalytic reactions, benefiting Australian renewable energy research and industry.
