Lucy Gloag

Dr Lucy Gloag is a Lecturer in the Research School of Chemistry at The Australian National University. She joined ANU in 2024 from the University of Technology Sydney. Her research focuses on nanomaterials chemistry and electron microscopy, particularly in the development of functional energy materials for electrocatalytic applications. Her work involves the synthesis and characterisation of nanomaterials to enhance electrocatalytic performance through precise control of nanostructure. Dr Gloag's research aims to establish structure-property relationships to enable the creation of efficient electrode materials for energy storage and conversion technologies.

Lucy Gloag is a researcher at the Australian National University specializing in nanomaterials chemistry, with a focus on electron microscopy and electrocatalysis. Her work explores the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for advanced electrocatalytic applications, particularly in energy conversion and storage. Gloag's research includes the development of branched and faceted metal nanoparticles, such as Pt, Pd, Ru, Ir, Rh, and Ni, to enhance catalytic activity and stability. She investigates single-atom electrocatalysts, metal-support interactions, and nanostructure engineering to improve performance in reactions like oxygen evolution and methanol oxidation. Her studies also extend to biomedical applications, including magnetic nanoparticle imaging and Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics.
