TASKS AND TIME-FRAME Sample Clauses

TASKS AND TIME-FRAME. Task 1 and 2 might inter-wine as dictated by project progression and needs Task 1: Tuning the crystal structure and composition of transition metal-doped Co3O4 for optimized activity and stability of the catalysts (6 months) Deliverable: Transition metal-doped Co3O4 (M-Co3O4) with comparable OER activity to Ir oxides in acidic medium. It is expected that the M-doped Co3O4 will also show much-improved stability in acid compared to IrO2 by design. Task 2: Modify the support-catalyst interface for improved stability (6 months). If necessary or time permissible, we will also explore the surface coating approach for stability enhancement. Deliverable: Develop in-situ growth of the M-Co3O4 directly on carbon-supports to enhance the catalyst stability as well as activity.
