Grant Activity:
The utilisation of carbon materials from methane pyrolysis
Purpose:
Methane pyrolysis is a promising low-emission hydrogen production method that directly splits natural gas or biogas into hydrogen and solid carbon. However, a technological gap exists in dealing with solid carbon. This project aims to economically utilize carbon coproducts from catalytic methane pyrolysis using low-cost Australian iron ore catalysts. Carbon structures will be optimised during synthesis, and a new electrochemical purification method will be scaled up to obtain high-purity carbon materials. Value-added applications of unpurified and purified carbon coproducts will be demonstrated for wastewater treatment and different types of batteries, reducing solid waste and enabling significant cost offsets for hydrogen production.
