When: 25 October 2021, 15:00 GMT Metal-organic framework templates and hosts of nanocatalysts: geometry, surface chemistry and performance webinar with Dr Petra Ágota Szilágyi (Queen Mary University of London). Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of materials in terms of the tuneability of their pore geometry, chemistry, and flexibility,…
When: 29 September 2021, 14:00 – 16:00 GMT A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub based around the topics of high-throughput optimisation and data handling, scale-up of enzyme catalysis, photochemistry and kinetic studies for catalyst lifetime understanding. Speakers include: Nessa Carson, Syngenta Data…
There is an opportunity for a PhD position through the Central Laser Facility (CLF) on the Harwell Campus and the UK Catalysis Hub. For the PhD studentship, half the funding will generously be provided by the facilities. THE applicant must have confirmation of the other half of the funding. The…
This talk will provide short vignettes across my career, which began in academic heterogeneous catalysis research, moved though pharmaceutical process R&D, and back into academia, exploring homogeneous catalysis in the origin of biological homochirality. Research across chemistry and chemical engineering positions in three different countries led me from autocatalysis (automotive)…
In this lecture, I will discuss the role of the support in directing the nanostructures of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles. The role of support in relation to the catalytic properties of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles using different liquid phase reactions will be discussed in detail. The reactions include aerobic oxidation…
