About this scholarship
This HDR scholarship is supported by funding from ARC DP projects. The purpose of this scholarship is to support the PhD candidate to conduct basic research on “Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction for methanol production”. The key concept of this project lies in the design of novel catalyst materials for facilitating the selective conversion of CO2 into value-added products like methanol. Such conversion is anticipated to reduce CO2 emissions while generating useful chemical feedstock. The candidate is expected to show interest and enthusiasm in scientific research in catalysis, energy, and engineering and to develop knowledge in CO2 conversion technologies.
