Transport phenomenon at the tri-phase interface in hydrogen energy systems

This research investigates the transport of electrons, ions, and molecules at the tri-phase interface in hydrogen energy systems. We will investigate the influence of interfacial electric fields, electric double layers, ion-specific adsorption, and water structuring in nanoporous materials on hydrogen-electricity conversion efficiency.

Funding

This research will be funded by Australian National University and Chinese Academy of Sciences.
