Revisiting Liquid Phase Hydrogenations using Pd Nanoparticles
The use of supported Pd nanoparticles is ubiquitous in hydrogenation chemistry. From synthetic organic transformations towards high-value products in the pharmaceutical or fragrance industries to crude biomass processing towards commodity…
Modern Developments in Catalysis Vol II published
The UK Catalysis Hub have published a new edition of Modern Developments in Catalysis with publishers World Scientific. Modern Developments in Catalysis, Volume 2 provides a review and update of current…
A New Relativistic Ultrafast Electron Diffraction and Imaging (RUEDI) National Facility in the UK
Transformative innovations in the science and technology of personalized medicine, energy storage, and clean growth start from achieving atomic and molecular understanding, and then control, of the fundamental (bio)-chemical interactions…

Development of operando spectroscopic methods and controlled catalyst preparation
The development of operando spectroscopic methods and controlled catalyst preparation are both essential tools in understanding the complex properties of catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts, for example supported metal nanoparticles, are exceedingly dynamic and…
The application of Kerr-gated Raman spectroscopy in zeolite catalysed hydrocarbon conversion reactions
In this work, methanol-to-hydrocarbons, biomass-upgrading reactions and plastic conversion are studied over zeolite catalysts, using vibrational spectroscopy to give mechanistic insight. Raman Spectroscopy can identify carbonaceous surface species during catalysis,…
Deciphering cellular sugar pathways using chemically-controlled carbohydrate probes
All cells use sugar, but a consequence of unbalanced sugar usage is disease through hexosamine sugar biosynthetic pathways. To precisely define the roles of hexosamine sugar-driven effects, we designed chemical…
Oxidation Catalysis by Isolated Co and Rh Atoms in N-doped Carbon
Transition metal atoms isolated in the surface of nitrogen-doped carbon have demonstrated excellent thermocatalytic and electrocatalytic performance, most notably in reactions involving oxygen. In the current work, the low temperature…
