UK Catalysis Hub & Solar Chemicals Network Joint Workshop
31 October 10:30 to 16:30
Meeting Room 1&2, Research Complex at Harwell, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Didcot, OX11 0FA
Join us for a dynamic and collaborative sandpit-style workshop jointly hosted by the UK Catalysis Hub and the Solar Chemicals Network. This one-day event is designed to bring together researchers across disciplines to explore new frontiers in solar-driven and sustainable catalytic processes. Through a series of short talks and interactive breakout discussions, we aim to spark collaborations and develop project concepts around shared research challenges.
Discussion themes include:
Photosynthesis: Natural to Artificial – Overview of the biological and synthetic landscape.
State-of-the-Art Electrocatalysis – Designed for non-electrochemists to discover new approaches. Translating electrocatalysts in solar driven devices.
Bridging Research Communities – Integration of photoelectrochemical, electrocatalytic, organic, and plasmonic science.
Covering topics including:
Water oxidation – translating active catalysts in solar driven materials.
Light driven N2 reduction – Sustainable strategies and current challenges.
Photo- and electrocatalysts for waste to value products – including biomass, pollutants.
Speakers include:
Prof.Alexander Cowen, Liverpool
Prof. Erwin Reisner, Cambridge
Prof. Ludmilla Steier, Oxford
Prof. Ifan Stephens, Imperial College London
Dr. Jenny Zhang, Cambridge
