Overview

Professor George Zhao is a Professor with the School of Chemical Engineering at The University of Queensland and was recently awarded an ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship. Professor Zhao has previously been an ARC Future Fellow (2010–2014) and a UQ Vice-Chancellor’s Research and Teaching Fellow. Professor Zhao’s research focuses on nanoporous materials for energy and environmental applications. The overall objective of his research program is to develop tailor-designed advanced porous materials with prescribed structural, surface, and morphological properties for emerging applications. Professor Zhao’s research has been recognised by honours and awards, such as 2016 Thomson Reuters highly cited researcher, Fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), and the Thousand Talent Professorship of the Chinese Government.

Research:

George’s research focuses on novel porous materials for energy storage, photocatalytic water purification, and photonics. His current research projects include carbon-based materials as supercapacitor and Li-ion battery electrodes, porous photocatalysts for water disinfection and detoxification, self-assembly of microspheres for fabricating 3D colloidal photonic crystals and macroporous structures as sensors and waveguides. The overall objective of his research program is to develop tailor-designed nanoporous materials with prescribed structural, surface, and morphological properties for emerging applications and to update current technologies. While new materials have been of the main research activity, theoretical work has also been carried out to help understand experimental observations and phenomena. George specialises in designing advanced porous structures for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, heterogeneous catalysis, adsorption and separation of gas and liquid, immobilization of enzymes, and photonics.

Teaching and Learning:

George has taught the following courses: Colloids and Surfaces, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Applied Heterogeneous Catalysis, and Materials Science and Engineering.

Projects:

  1. Carbon-based materials for electrochemical energy storage and desalination, 2010-2014, funded by Australian Research Council (ARC).
  2. Advanced porous materials for emerging applications, 2011-2015, funded by The University of Queensland.
  3. Charge storage mechanism and transport behaviour in nanoporous carbons: implications on developing next-generation electric double-layer capacitors, 2013-2015. Funded by ARC.

Research Interests

  • Nanoporous materials and applications
    Porous materials such as zeolites and activated carbon have been used in many technological fields, such as petroleum refining, gas separation and purification, wastewater treatment, and so on. Emerging applications require a high level of control over porous materials with well-defined physical and chemical properties. Our research interests focus on design and preparatino of nanoporous materials for electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), water purification, electrocapacitive desalination, natural gas conversion, and photonics. Currently we work on porous carbon-based materials as supercapacitor and Li-ion battery electrodes, graphene and titanium dioxide materials for water disinfection and detoxification, self-assembly of microspheres for fabricating 3D colloidal photonic crystals, hierarchical zeolite materials as heterogeneous catalysts, and immobilization of enzymes on porous solids. The overall objective of his research program is to develop tailor-designed novel porous materials with prescribed structural, interfacial, and morphological properties for emerging applications. While new materials have been of our main research them, computational work has also been carried out in our lab to simulate and model important physical phenomena that would not be easy to observe experimentally or those cannot be completely understood experimentally.
