Description

Multi-functional electrochemical imaging with a miniaturised lab-on-a-tip. This project aims to understand the functional properties of nanomaterials in minute detail by making and utilising a unique new probe: the lab-on-a-tip. This project expects to generate new knowledge in energy conversion and storage by simultaneously measuring multiple functional properties of such materials at a microscopic scale. Expected outcomes of this project include an enhanced capacity to design new high-performing, longer-lasting and safe energy technologies. This should provide significant socio-economic and environmental benefits, by developing next-generation electrochemical devices that efficiently convert electrical energy into chemical energy and store it safely as carbon-neutral fuels derived from carbon dioxide..
