When: 18 & 19 December 2023Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Fermi Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX On the 18th and 19th of December 2023 the UK Catalysis Hub held its annual winter conference and networking meeting. The Conference took place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire. The event was a hybrid event so attendees had the…
The advanced bio & physical sciences for low carbon energy (AB&PS) team is the central research organization for biosciences, chemistry, materials sciences, biofuels, green hydrogen/ electrochemistry, and the science of carbon capture. This team also incorporates computational modelling of biosciences and chemistry. The role is an opportunity to work in…
The increased interest in electrochemical energy-storage/conversion systems such as metal-air batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers arising from the interest in electrification of energy supply and distribution has motivated many studies of oxygen reduction and evolution reaction (ORR and OER) and CO2 reduction (CO2RR) oxide electrocatalysts. The development of more efficient…
The Guerbet reaction is over a hundred years’ old but is finding renewed interest as a method to upgrade bio aclcohols into advanced fuel molecules. In this talk, two new directions will be described. Firstly, the design of mixed P-N ligand ruthenium complexes which are able to switch selectivity between fuel-relevent butanol…
In the Department of Chemistry at Technical University of Darmstadt, in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the Eduard Zintl Institute, there is an opening for a University Professorship (W3) for “Inorganic Solid State and Materials Chemistry” Code No. 330 We are looking for a nationally and internationally recognized and visible…

Come and do the kind of science that made you want to become a scientist. Explore the unknown and get to grips with the biggest challenges in Big Science. And, alongside world class engineers and technologists, use everything you’ve learnt to find real-answers that shape society and improve lives. Put…
Applications are invited for a research associate to work in the groups of Professors Jason Lynam (https://www.york.ac.uk/chemistry/staff/academic/h-n/jlynam/), Ian Fairlamb (https://www.york.ac.uk/chemistry/staff/academic/d-g/ifairlamb/) and Neil Hunt (https://www.york.ac.uk/chemistry/staff/academic/h-n/neil-hunt/#research-content). The work is funded by the UK’s Engineering and Physical Science Research Council and will focus on the development and study of transition metal-mediated reactions. The project…
Two PhD positions are available at Heriot-Watt University: 1. Atmospheric Remediation Catalysis in Healthcare Applications (ARCHA) This PhD opportunity will be in the Catalysis Research Group in the Institute of Chemical Sciences of Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. This project aims to develop an ambient catalytic system that can split nitrous oxide…
Controlling catalyst selectivity is a key criterion for the successful transition to a post-fossil, sustainable chemical industry. Beyond the tuning of catalytic sites, confinement in a pore or cavity of molecular dimensions is one approach to the selectivity challenge. Confinement may offer geometric and electronic stabilization of critical intermediates and…
