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 although unconsumed by the process of catalysis they adapt to the evolving chemical environment. Elsewhere, the chemical steps involved within…
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, though in many cases strong emission from the laser interacting with the sample causes intense fluorescence which prevents collection of…
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 tools sensitive for live-cell applications, for example our light-controlled photo-sugars and our cell compartment-specific “GlycoID” biorthogonal labeling strategy. These precision…
Heterogeneous catalysis is a key enabler of the chemical industry from refinery to pharmaceuticals. The sectors within which this process has applications includes the pharmaceutical, research and commercial product development, manufacturing and sustainable energy sectors (such as Biodiesel). This programme is designed to give students the practical skills to undertake…
When: 27 June 2023, 10:30 – 18:00 BSTWhere: Department of Chemistry, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom NMR spectroscopy has played pivotal role in catalytic research – both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. The power of the technique comes from its ability to identify and…
On the 17th and 18th of July the UK Catalysis Hub will host its annual summer conference and networking meeting. The Conference will take place at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire. The event will be a hybrid event so we will have the option to attend virtually for those who can’t attend in…
To celebrate British Science Week we share Dr Yagya Regmi and Dr Laurie King’s thoughts on the importance of catalysis for achieving a net zero society andour most popular webinar on Catalysing green hydrogen generation. It is critical to develop a broad portfolio of affordable and efficient technologies that can…
It is critical to develop a broad portfolio of affordable and efficient technologies that can manage and ultimately overcome the climate crisis. The burden of developing such technologies to reverse the adverse effects of emissions without compromising the living standards lie with the scientific and engineering community in both academia…
A Research Associate position is available for 15 months with Prof. Mulholland in the Centre for Computational Chemistry at the University of Bristol. This project involves development, application and demonstration of interactive virtual reality software and methods for design, molecular modelling and simulation of proteins and catalysts. It includes development…
