Converting Biomass into Value-Added Catalysts for Water Electrolysis (2024–2027)
Abstract:
This project aims to employ agricultural waste to manufacture new highly active and stable non-precious metal
catalysts for accelerating hydrogen production from water electrolysis. The project expects to generate new
knowledge in the development of low-cost and sustainable catalysts for renewable hydrogen production and new
technology for converting agricultural waste into value-added catalysts. The project outcomes are expected to
benefit Australia by creating new commercial opportunities in `waste-to-catalyst¿ conversion and generating a new
pathway for managing and recycling agricultural waste, thus providing both environmental and economic benefits
while contributing to a sustainable economy.
