- Hierarchical nickel-copper hydroxide nanowire is synthesised for the first time. This is applied as a positive electrode for electrochemical oxidation of ammonia, exhibiting higher activity than expensive platinum. With huge commercial potential in wastewater treatment, the research led to two Innovate UK projects (£500k, ref 104010; and £212k, ref 133714) in collaboration with Living Water Ecosystem Ltd. An invited keynote presentation on the research was delivered at the 254th ACS Annual Meeting in Washington DC, 2017. The article is published in the top journal in catalysis (Impact Factor = 14.4).
