Mesoporous High-Entropy Alloys for Electrocatalytic Plastic Upcycling (2026-2029)
Abstract
This project aims to develop advanced mesoporous high-entropy alloys materials to convert plastic waste into value-added chemicals using electrochemical upcycling technology. Generating new knowledge in intelligent design strategies for nanomaterials and understanding structure-performance relationships holds promise in addressing the growing challenge of plastic waste through valorising plastic waste streams. Expected outcomes include a green nanotechnology platform for novel mesoporous high-entropy alloy-based materials synthesis and technology design. This is expected to generate valuable intellectual property, that reduces energy consumption and cost of plastic upcycling for commercial, economic and environmental benefits to Australia.
