Centre for Catalysis and Clean Energy (CCCEE)
Griffith University
Formerly known as Centre for Clean Environment and Energy
The Centre focuses on innovative chemical, microbiological and nano-technological approaches to understand the effects of pollutants within aquatic environments and soils. CCCEE focuses equally on the development of enabling technological solutions for environmental assessment and remediation, and new sources of renewable energy. The Centre’s research team specialises in environmental and pollution chemistry, environmental microbiology, geochemistry, sensing technology, electrochemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology, photochemistry and photocatalysis, membrane science and nanotechnology. The research focus includes: - Catalysts and catalysis - Water resource management - Natural product chemistry - Energy storage and conservation
