Description

Advanced ionic materials for sustainable refrigeration. . This project aims to develop a range of high-performance materials to achieve efficiency and longevity in sustainable refrigeration and cooling applications. This is critical to enabling wider use of cooling devices without incurring a massive environmental impact. Advanced analytical techniques will be used to build a deep understanding of the structure-property relationships in the materials that underpin their performance. Expected outcomes include a suite of materials with properties tailored to achieve high performance, in addition to training in the important area of energy materials, thereby benefiting the advancement of materials and know-how urgently required to support Australia’s transition to clean energy.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Prof Jennifer Pringle
