Computational exploration of alloy- and defect engineering in rational design of electrocatalysts

(2024) Computational exploration of alloy- and defect engineering in rational design of electrocatalysts. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This PhD program is a comprehensive exploration of utilizing alloy- and defect engineering in rational catalyst design. Based on density functional theory (DFT) simulations, this study proposed several practical and economical electrocatalysts with excellent theoretical performance for dinitrogen reduction (N2RR), nitrate reduction (NO3RR) and hydrogen evolution (HER), etc. The outputs in this project can serve as novel strategies towards highly efficient electrocatalysis process and provide conceptual insights for engineering practice.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
