Monireh’s research has focused on recycling of materials from e-wastes (batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, electrolysers, etc.) to develop advanced functional materials for green energy production. Within the QUT-MPIK joint laboratory, she contributes to synthesis nickel nano-electrocatalysts from waste nickel-metal hydride batteries for electrochemical water-splitting to produce green hydrogen. Monireh received her PhD from Queensland University of Technology, Australian in 2020 with a major in Energy and Process Engineering. She is experienced in characterising structure and physical/chemical/electronic properties of materials in atomic, micro and macro levels using advanced materials characterisation techniques and molecular modelling including crystallography, electron-microscopy, spectroscopy, density functional theory and molecular dynamics. Currently she is an early career researcher in Prof. Anthony O’Mullane group, utilising electrochemistry techniques to recover critical metals (noble metals: Pt, Ru, Au, transition metals: Ni, Co, Mn and REEs) from secondary sources and fabrication of sustainable electrocatalysts for practical applications.
