Featured Publications

Modern Developments in catalysis book cover imageModern Development in Catalysis Book

The UK Catalysis Hub collaborated to publish a book titled, “Modern developments in Catalysis”. The book is a series of chapters reviewing on the present state of catalysis research. Chapters focus on the breadth of the field of catalysis including biocatalysis, homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis, operando and in situ techniques, modelling and theoretical studies including life cycle analysis. The book sets out to explain to a reader interested in chemistry, the cutting-edge topics in the important field of catalysis. Click here for more details and where to find it.

Neutrons book cover imageNeutron Scattering – Applications in Biology, Chemistry and Materials Science Book

In Collaboration with Johnson Matthey, ISIS Neutron and Muon source and the catalysis community the UK Catalysis Hub spearheaded the publication of a special issue of PCCP on “Neutron scattering in catalysis and energy materials” (Phys Chem Chem Phys 18, 2016) which was edited by UK Catalysis Hub scientists (Silverwood, Parker and Catlow).
Following from this the UK Catalysis Hub has collaborated to publish a book titled, “Neutron Scattering – Applications in Biology, Chemistry and Materials Science”. The book provides an in-depth examination of the applications of neutron scattering in the fields of physics, materials science, chemistry, biology, the earth sciences, and engineering, looking at advances in instrumental, experimental and computational techniques over the past quarter-century. The book includes contributions from Prof. Richard Catlow and Dr Alexander O’Malley. Click here for more details and where to find it.
