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: 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: 17 – 18 June 2024Where: Pickavance Theatre (Building R22), Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Fermi Avenue, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX We held our annual summer conference on the 17th and 18th of June. The conference took place at the Pickavance Theatre (Building R22), Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire…
When: Friday 14 June, 11:00amWhere: Research Complex at Harwell On 14 June we hosted a seminar from Chris Armstrong of CLF. Chris’ talk gave a top level overview of laser-driven x-ray sources and the new EPAC facility at the CLF. Please find his slides from the talk for your information here.
When: 23 April 2024, 15:00 – 16:00 GMTWhere: Online A webinar on the One step process for generating ultra pure alloy nanoparticle catalysts from Dr. Vicky Broadley, Nikalyte Ltd. Electrochemical splitting of water offers a zero-carbon method for converting renewable energy to hydrogen. Economical production requires electrocatalysts that reduce the overpotentials…
When: 18 March 2024, 3-4pm GMTWhere: Online A webinar from Dr. Jennifer Edwards, Cardiff University, Senior Lecturer in Catalytic and Physical Chemistry and Director of EDI. On exposure to water, air and sunlight photocatalysts will generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have high oxidising potentials. These ROS can be used in…
When: 12 October, 1-2pm BSTWhere: Online A seminar on DFT & kinetic modeling of the methanol to olefins process with Prof. Dr. Felix Studt from Institute of Catalysis Research and Technology on 12 October. The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process over the acidic zeolite H-SSZ-13 is investigated using periodic density functional theory…
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…
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: 3 October 2023Where: Online This webinar continues our look at our pathfinder activities in the current phase. The subject of this webinar is experimental data capture in catalysis research. This is the focus of Pathfinder 1 which is led by Abraham Nieva de la Hidalga. Experimental Data Capture: producing…
