This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage Project collaborating with an industry partner. The purpose of this scholarship is to support THREE future PhD students in conducting research on the “Thermochemical energy storage and greenhouse gas conversion”. The PhD research projects are important part of an ARC Linkage Project which aims to design and develop novel perovskite-based materials to realise both thermochemical energy storage and greenhouse gas upgrading at reduced operation temperatures featuring high efficiency, selectivity, superior stability, and cost effectiveness. This project should provide significant benefits to achieve energy and environmental sustainability for Australia.
