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-p…
The use of bioethanol in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), either directly as a fuel or indirectly in the form of reformate hydrogen, has a number of technical barriers that require scientific and technological advances in order to provide high efficiency, durability, reliability and low cost to these devices. This project aims to address critica…
Hydrogen and fuel cells are a potential solution to the ever growing need of safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly energy supply. Their importance has increased in a scenario of renewable sources requiring efficient storage technologies to mitigate intermittency. In fact, fuel cell have been recently claimed as a promising technology to combine energy generation and storage to ens…

The properties of heterogeneous catalysts ranging in size from "single-atom" to nanoparticles have been a longstanding interest of both experimental and computational researchers. Although atomistic understanding of the molecular-level properties of such catalysts has improved considerably in the past two decades, the mechanisms by which the catalyst structure is coupled to the chemical e…
Climate issues and the need to reduce emissions of environmentally harmful gases have driven demand for clean energy sources. In this context, hydrogen energy and fuel cells play an important role. On the other hand, to meet the energy demand, the production of fossil fuels is still the majority and it has as its main byproduct the methane gas. Methane electrochemical converters are an in…
The focus of this PhD project is to research materials and innovative configurations for the anode of the last generation Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), targeting the use of alternative fuels to hydrogen, mainly bioethanol. Through this perspective, SOFCs will be manufactured using ceramic processing following the global tendency of the main developers of this technology, aiming at high …

Anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) can be used in several electrochemical devices for the production of clean energy and value-added molecules. The society is progressing to a renewable energy based economy and there is a serious global commitment to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. In this context, the need for multi-GW scale energy storage becomes imminent. One answer to this probl…
The deposition of thin layers on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has proved as a highly relevant method for improvement of the fuel cell's performance. Physical vapour deposition methods (PVD) such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have emerged to fabricate thin and dense electrolyte and functional barrier films as they enable a great control of stoichiometry and microstructure. Recently, a…
The present research proposal aims to get the necessary funding for a short-term pos-doc at the Jülich Research Center (FZJ, Germany). The focus of the proposed research is the development of ceramic materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). SOFCs are potentially the most efficient device for the direct conversion of chemical energy of a fuel into electricity. Such devices have attrac…
