Abstract

This project aims to develop a consistent and long-term scientific collaboration between the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia and the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN), Sao Paulo, Brazil, via the exchange of researchers and students. The research teams led by Dr Ziqi Sun at QUT and Dr. Fabio Coral Fonseca at IPEN have common interests on developing high-performance energy nanomaterials, especially on highly active catalytic nanomaterials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to use natural gas and sugar cane-derived bioethanol-as fuels.
