Description

Low-cost and Durable Anodes for Proton Exchange Membrane-CO2 Electrolysers. This project aims to advance proton exchange membrane CO2 electrolysis for sustainable production of carbon-based fuels and chemicals using renewable electricity and captured CO2. The key is a stable anode catalyst. It seeks to generate new knowledge in understanding and mitigating the interference of CO2 reduction products on anode catalyst performance through advanced characterisations, in situ/operando studies, electrochemical analysis, and computational modelling. Expected outcomes include innovative catalyst designs, mechanistic insights, and breakthroughs in energy efficiency and selectivity. This will enable carbon-neutral fuel synthesis, supporting Australia’s net zero targets, sustainable manufacturing, and clean energy exports. . Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
