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…

The University of Aberdeen has just put out an advert for 20 five-year fellows as part of our Aberdeen 2040 interdisciplinarity drive. These fellowships will provide exceptional researchers with an opportunity to carry out a large programme of independent research within the Aberdeen 2040 thematic areas. In the Department of Chemistry…
A video on the sustainable fuels and chemicals from biomass by Dr Christopher M. A. Parlett, University of Manchester – Diamond Light Source Research Fellow in Catalysis Lignocellulosic biomass represents a sustainable feedstock for the production of carbon-based chemicals and fuels, which can function as drop-in replacements for conventional fossil…
UK Catalysis Hub researchers including; Prof. Richard Catlow, Prof. Graham Hutchings, Prof. Christopher Hardacre and Prof. Andrew Beale are collaborating with Prof. Anatoly Zayats from King’s College London to investigate steering of chemical processes with plasmonic nanostructures. This multidisciplinary research programme combines the expertise of King’s and Imperial College London and UK Catalysis…
Closing the anthropogenic carbon cycle requires selective valorization of CO2 and efficient methods for capture and concentration from dilute streams. The first part of the talk will discuss the challenge of product selectivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to renewable fuels. Desirable CO2 reduction products require proton equivalents, but key catalytic intermediates in CO2 reduction can…

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to work on a project at the chemistry-biology interface looking to improve the sustainability of chemical synthesis. The project seeks to design new metalloenzymes using unnatural amino acids or synthetic cofactors and to apply these catalysts in selective chemical synthesis. Initially these metalloenzymes…
