This project aims to develop the next generation of conductive porous materials through an integrated approach
which combines inorganic synthesis with informatics. Using this approach, transition metals can be combined with
nonmetals creating mesoporous materials with precise control of their internal space allowing the correlations
between structure, composition, properties, and performance to be revealed. This project is expected to generate
new highly efficient electrocatalysts and energy conversion devices based on low-cost and earth-abundant
transition metals. The project outcomes will position Australia at the forefront of research and development in
advanced materials, smart catalysts, and renewable energy technologies.
