Description

Ab initio design of high-entropy alloy catalysts for metal-CO2 batteries. This project aims to rationally design efficient high entropy alloy (HEA) catalyst cathodes for applications in metal-CO2 batteries and CO2 electrolysers. Ab initio HEA design will be conducted with the development of advanced electrochemistry modelling tools. This project will provide insights on interfacial reactions and establish design protocols. The anticipated outcomes would transform materials and electrochemistry technologies, while providing fundamental knowledge for commercialisation. This project will put Australia at the forefront of intelligent energy materials design for combating global energy crisis and resolving climate change, by introducing safe and inexpensive batteries to the future Australia’s green energy ecosystem.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Jodie Yuwono
