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…
When: 3 September 2024, 10:30-17:00Where: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Didcot, OX11 0QX Join us for this free one-day symposium organised by the Institute of Chemical Sciences at Heriot Watt University, the Department of Chemistry at the University of York and the UK Catalysis Hub, supported by UKRI, to look…
When: 20 August 2024, 15:00 – 16:00 BSTWhere: Online Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) are molecules (or a combination of two molecules) which contain a Lewis acidic and Lewis basic sites and are often derived from the p-block elements. The acidic and basic centres work cooperatively to activate small molecules such as…

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…
When: 6 October 2023, 15:00 BSTWhere: Online The evaluation of catalysts through testing is ubiquitous in laboratories world wide, and there are many textbooks and literature articles that describe in varying levels of detail how such tests should be undertaken. In the chemical industry, catalyst testing also forms an essential…
When: 22 March 2023, 15:00 – 17:00 GMTWhere: Online The UK Catalysis Hub are hosting a series of seminars for Early Career Researchers on the use of catalysts (bio, hetero- and homo-geneous) towards sustainable solutions in the carbon economy. The next virtual seminar for Early Career Researchers will be on…
