On the 18th and 19th of December 2023 the UK Catalysis Hub will host its annual winter conference and networking meeting. The Conference will take place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire. The event will be a hybrid event so we will have the option to attend virtually for those who can’t attend in…
A biennial meeting sponsored by the RSC that aims to bring together newly appointed and aspiring academics in physical chemistry. The next event will be held in 2024 – More details to followÂ
SCI’s Materials Early Careers Committee aims to engage early career scientists in the materials sectors across chemistry and chemical engineering. It has a broad range of interests including catalysis, energy materials, polymers and materials analysis. The group brings together ECRs in industry and academia, fostering networks and relationships with the…
A special collection of thematically related manuscripts by UK Catalysis Hub members has been published by the Royal Society in 2023 PCCP Reviews, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2023, Advance Article. Computational modelling techniques now play a vital role in catalytic science. Atomic and molecular level simulation is used widely and…
When: 11 October 2023, 10:00 – 11:00 BSTWhere: Online Lignin is the only renewable natural resource with abundant aromatics in nature, and it’s highly desirable to develop cheap and efficient catalysts to obtain value-added aromatics from lignin. We initially employed a cheap platinum-like Tungsten carbide catalyst for lignin hydrogenolysis and explored…
