RESEARCH INTERESTs
His group has been working for many years on the properties of light metals for hydrogen storage application. He is also developing novel technologies for enabling novel fuel cells and electrolyser architectures and advanced catalysts for hydrogen combustion.
His broad expertise is also applied toward the use of hydride materials for a range of applications including Fuel cells, Batteries, Smart windows and Catalysis for the conversion of small molecules such as carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels.
Francois's research aligns with the Faculty of Science Research Strengths - Molecules to Materials, Renewable and Clean Energy, Next Generation Materials.
