Integrated high-throughput material synthesis and characterisation system (2023-2025)
Abstract
The program aims to develop an integrated mobile high-throughput robotic system for rapid screening of synthesis parameters and physicochemical properties of functional nanomaterials. The new system with human-like reach will be designed to operate typical lab material synthesis, integrated with a thermal analyser for rapid structural analysis, a Raman spectrometer and a luminescence spectrometer for property fast screening, an electrochemical atomic force microscope for monitoring material's structure and performance during reactions. The new platform will provide the Australian Advanced Manufacturing sector excellent opportunities on critical materials development that underpin applications in clean energy, environment and health care.
