Two discoveries made in the last five years lead to a brand new way to study and exploit enzyme catalysis. The first of these is the rapid, reversible and stable electrochemical…
Ethene belongs to the fastest growing chemicals worldwide mainly driven by polyethylene production. Currently, ethene is manufactured in large-scale, natural gas crackers by dehydrogenation in a rather energy demanding high-temperature…
PETase and related enzymes have created much interest due to their potential use in the commercial recycling of plastic waste. The work presented here will demonstrate that molecular modelling has…
Combined/simultaneous measurements of a range Synchrotron radiation (SR) based techniques with either another SR or optical spectroscopy-based methods has been a valuable addition to a suite of structural methods available…
Electrolysis of water provides a sustainable pathway toward storing electrical energy from renewable sources in the form of chemical bonds. Among the two half-cell reactions involved in water splitting, the…
Electron microscopy is one of the most important methods for studying the micro- and nano-scale morphology of catalysts, materials, and biological objects. However, any applications of the method require collecting…
Flow chemistry and automation is the future of pharmaceuticals, fine chemical, photochemical, drug discovery and material-based industries. Reactions under flow conditions have been used for hundreds of years in the…
I will discuss how biomass and bioinspiration can be utilised to design powerful electrocatalysts for Oxygen and CO2 Reduction. Biography Magda Titirici has a PHD from University of Dortmund and…
Alkene metathesis and transfer hydrogenation are archetypal reversible catalytic reactions that are used throughout the chemical sciences. However, given their utility, there are surprisingly few analogous processes applicable to other…
There is wide-ranging interest in the development of stable porous materials for the capture, removal and conversion of toxic gases such as SO2 and NO2, and fuel gases such as CO2,…
