We have put together a list of publication highlights from 2024 to provide inspiring reading for those long journeys this holiday season. The effect of pore structure on the local and nanoscale mobility of anisole and guaiacol in commercial zeolite catalysts PhD student Katie Morton and members of the UK Catalysis…
We would be very grateful if you could fill out our UK Catalysis Hub website survey at https://forms.office.com/e/dq18JF151p. The purpose of this survey is to collect your feedback and expectations on the UK Catalysis Hub website. These invaluable insights will support us in website improvements.
This World Soil Day take a look at an article in Science Magazine co-authored by UK Catalysis Hub members with lead author Grazia Malta. They worked on finding an alternative to mercuric chloride catalysts used in the creation of polymer feedstock which causes environmental pollution when dumped in our soil.…
When: 10 – 12 March 2025Where: University of Leeds Computational modelling at the molecular level is now widely used in all areas of catalytic science. Modelling tools allow us to develop a detailed understanding of catalysis at the molecular level, including structural and mechanistic aspects. Calculations can be used to…
When: 7 November 2024, 15:00 GMTWhere: online X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) is a technique used to study the oxidation state (chemical information) and local co-ordination environment (structural information) properties of a material. With it being element specific, non-destructive, and having variable spatial resolutions (depending on the instrument this can be…
When: 22 October 2024, 15:00 BSTWhere: online We are pleased to announce a call for Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) BAG at ISIS. The webinar with Dr. Ian Silverwood, UKRI STFC ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, will provide information on the benefits, process and how to apply for the BAG. QENS at ISIS…
We are pleased to announce a Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) BAG at ISIS. We are keen to encourage users with no experience of QENS and will provide support throughout the process. QENS is a powerful tool in catalysis research, although currently underused. To reduce the barrier to entry, proposals will be…
Congratulations to UK Catalysis Hub member Dr Matthew G. Quesne who is moving to a new position as Lecturer in Computational Materials Chemistry for a Sustainable Future in the School of Chemistry, University of Leeds. Dr Matthew G. Quesne has been a UK Catalysis Hub researcher for the last five years. His…
UK Catalysis Hub member Professor Matt Rosseinsky, from the Department of Chemistry and Materials Innovation Factory, University of Liverpool has been awarded an OBE for services to materials chemistry research and innovation. He and his research team have developed a next generation approach to materials discovery that fuses digital tools…
Bob studied for his PHD at Imperial and has worked in the Chemical industry for over 35 years. He has worked in the development of new world-scale technologies that have massively reduced the environmental footprint of large chemical processes offering important economic benefits. In 2017 he led the establishment of Drochaid Research Services Ltd.…
