Description

Molecular Bismuth Catalysts in Hydrogen Evolution Reactions. This project aims to achieve a sustainable, non-toxic and state-of-the-art approach to developing environmentally benign bismuth catalysts for hydrogen production within Australia. Current industrial approaches for the generation of hydrogen rely primarily upon the steam-reforming of methane, a process that is responsible for significant global greenhouse gas emissions every year. This project will utilise redox flexible bismuth systems in catalytic hydrogen evolution reactions. The outcomes of this project will provide significant support to Australia on its mission to establish effective and lucrative hydrogen production technologies to support the wider hydrogen roadmap.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 3402 - Inorganic Chemistry. Lead: Dr Matthew Evans
