When: 1 October, 15:00Where: Watch Now Prof. Dr. Matthias Beller (LIKAT Rostock) gave a seminar on recent advancements in catalysis. Prof. Dr. Matthias Beller (LIKAT Rostock) will give a 40 minute seminar followed by questions and discussion. Matthias Beller studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen, where he completed his…
When: 17 September 2020, 2 – 4pmWhere: Watch Now A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub. Speakers include: Dr. Christopher Mitchell (SABIC) – Laboratory scale testing of formed catalyst particles For many heterogeneously catalysed processes, the final commercial application requires the use of…
When: 27 August, 15:00 – Watch now Dr. Simon Freakley (Bath) will give a seminar on production of H202. Hydrogen peroxide has a key role to play in developing clean chemical processes. The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 would represent an attractive atom efficient process which…
When: 29 July 15:00 A 40 minute seminar given by Dr. Anthony Green (Manchester) and Prof. Nicholas Turner (Manchester) presenting an overview of the current state-of-the-art and challenges for future research. Click image below to watch a recording of the webinar:
Due to the Current situation and research climate the UK Catalysis Hub has made the decision to extend the deadline for Proposals from May 8th to August 15th. This is to allow fruitful discussions between industry and academics and to allow academics to adjust to the additional complexities of moving to remote teaching and assessment. We will continue to…
When: 21 July 2020 – Watch Now Synchrotron X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT) is a marriage between powder diffraction and computed tomography using a “pencil” beam approach. The spatially-resolved signals obtained with XRD-CT can reveal information that would otherwise be lost in bulk measurements, which opens up new possibilities in…
When: 23 June, 16:00 – Watch Now The subtleties of structure and bonding in compounds of the rare earths (Group 3 and the lanthanides) and actinides are still poorly-understood. However, their complexes can exhibit strong and tuneable Lewis acidity, high and tuneable reduction capacity, and the capacity for rapid ligand…

When: 28 May, 15:00 – Watch Now Opportunities for studying catalytic materials with intense radiation sources; what, where, when and how. It was in 1836 that Jöns Jacob Berzelius provided the first, basic description of a catalyst and its properties. Both the breadth and depth of our understanding of catalysts and…
The Jarvis group have a fully funded PhD position available to explore the development of photoactive metalloproteins. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated students interested in the chemical biology interface and with an aptitude to learning new things. Experience in transition metal catalysis/bioinorganic chemistry beneficial. Deadline for applications June 19th 2020. For…
