Printing of Carbon-Supported Nanoparticles for Catalytic Applications

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Applications accepted all year round

About the Project

Catalysts are a key component of any technology aimed at reducing the energy and carbon footprint of today’s incumbent technologies. Being able to synthesise nanoparticle-based catalysts efficiently and reliably, whilst minimising solvent and auxiliary use is crucial for advancing green catalytic Science and Engineering. In this project you will learn to use novel Nanoparticle printing technology to create new and improved catalysts, and exploit catalyst–support interactions with novel carbons from within the ARC Carbon Science Innovation Centre of Excellence.

Objectives:

• This project aims to develop carbon-based catalytic materials to support a range of catalytic applications
• To use a novel nanoparticle printing system to prepare composite materials
• Integration and testing of your printed catalysts in reactor systems for thermal and electrocatalysis
