Project
Supervisor
Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) has been widely used for various applications in the different nanotechnology fields, e.g sensors, energy storage or as a template for the preparation of various nanostructure arrays. This study will develop a catalyst support based on AAO suitable for hydrogen energy applications.
