Flexible Flame Aerosol Synthesis Technology

Funding is requested to establish a world-leading fabrication facility for nanostructured materials via flamesynthesis. This is a scalable fabrication route used for industrial production of most nanoparticle commodities. Theaim is to advance current capabilities by providing control over the reaction environment and flame reactionsources. This will extend the range of feasible materials from the current metal oxides to a broad family of nitrides,sulphides, and metal-organic frameworks, enabling the engineering of electrocatalysts, optoelectronic- and biomaterials. Benefits are expected in terms of fundamental and applied knowledge generation, with impact to theAustralian industry sectors of Advanced Manufacturing, Energy and Health.
