To achieve net zero, captured carbon dioxide must be efficiently utilised and recycled. A research team led by Dr Simon Kondrat (Loughborough University) and the UK Catalysis Hub are developingā¦
Directing groups have become pivotal in controlling the stereo- and regiochemistry of transition metal catalysed CāH activation and olefin difunctionalisation reactions. Regiocontrol in these reactions is generally achieved through formationā¦
With the goal of identifying homogeneous catalysts with improved activity or selectivity, we exploit physical organic concepts, statistical learning techniques and optimization algorithms. We demonstrate how these approaches could beā¦
Mechanochemical synthesis allows in various cases the synthesis of materials which are otherwise difficult to access or complex to synthesize, such as rare earth metal hydrides, corundum with high surfaceā¦
Chemical transformations of alternative carbon-based materials, such as non-volatile biomass and waste plastic, are strongly influenced by the partitioning of reactants, intermediates, products, and spectator molecules (including the solvent) betweenā¦
We develop new porous materials based upon metal-organic frameworks and zeolites for applications in clean-air technology, catalysis, biomass conversion, separation and conductivity. Our key research interest is to investigate theā¦
Metal Atoms on Surfaces and Interfaces (MASI) is a large-scale multidisciplinary project spearheaded by four UK universities (Nottingham, Cardiff, Cambridge, and Birmingham) simultaneously addressing two grand challenges: sustainable use ofā¦
3-year PhD studentship, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship (3 years) within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham,ā¦
We are looking for 2 highly motivated PhD candidates willing to work at the University of Birmingham in the interception of material science, chemistry, fundamental and applied electrochemistry. Ideally, theā¦
Postdoctoral Research Associate Chemistry (Heterogeneous Catalysis)Ā Phil Dyer and Simon Beaumont have a joint PDRA post available on an industrially funded research project in Durham. The project involves the selection, synthesis,ā¦
