Project description
We are developing catalysts for converting CO2 and H2O back to hydrocarbons, thus develop processes to fabricate solar fuels. The main components are small metal clusters which act as catalysts. The clusters contain only 4 – 100 metal atoms. We can be fabricated the clusters with physical methods in a cluster source or use chemically made clusters. The project is a collaboration between Flinders, Adelaide University, Canterbury University, Newcastle University, the University of Utah (USA) and the National Institute for Material Science (Japan).
Assumed knowledge
Basic knowledge in Physics and/or Chemistry
Industry involvement
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
