Mr Zichu Zhao
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Chemical Engineering
College of Engineering and Information Technology
I am a PhD candidate at the School of Chemical Engineering (SCE) and a member of the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide.My research focuses on the synthesis and application of nanomaterials for clean energy production, with a particular emphasis on electrocatalysis for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). I specialize in leveraging single-atom catalysts and high-entropy alloys to enhance catalytic performance and energy efficiency.I am passionate about advancing sustainable technologies and look forward to collaborating with like-minded researchers to tackle global energy challenges.
