When: 8 February 2021, 15:00Watch Now Sono-Electrocatalysis Webinar with Prof. Bruno G. Pollet (NTNU). This presentation highlights some of the research works undertaken over the years by the Pollet’s groups in Birmingham, Cape Town and Trondheim in the application of power ultrasound for the fabrication of electrolyser and fuel cell catalysts,…
When: 25 January 2021, 15:00 Webinar with Dr. Arunabhiram Chutia (Lincoln). Adsorption of atoms and molecules is a fundamental process, which takes place on a catalyst surface before they dissociate, diffuse over the surface and recombine with other adsorbed species to form the final product. Therefore, understanding the local geometrical…
When: 14 December, 15:00 Prof. Richard Catlow (UCL/Cardiff) A seminar highlighting the use of computer modelling in conjunction with synchrotron and neutron techniques. Watch a recording of the webinar below:
When: 23 November 2020, 3 – 4pmWhere: Virtual Abel + Imray will be hosting an “Introduction to Patents” webinar aimed at explaining what a patent is, why patents are relevant to you, as a chemist, and how you go about patenting an invention. Obtaining adequate protection for your ideas from…
When: 17 September 2020, 2 – 4pmWhere: Watch Now A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub. Speakers include: Dr. Christopher Mitchell (SABIC) – Laboratory scale testing of formed catalyst particles For many heterogeneously catalysed processes, the final commercial application requires the use of…
When: 27 August, 15:00 – Watch now Dr. Simon Freakley (Bath) will give a seminar on production of H202. Hydrogen peroxide has a key role to play in developing clean chemical processes. The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 would represent an attractive atom efficient process which…
When: 21 July 2020 – Watch Now Synchrotron X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT) is a marriage between powder diffraction and computed tomography using a “pencil” beam approach. The spatially-resolved signals obtained with XRD-CT can reveal information that would otherwise be lost in bulk measurements, which opens up new possibilities in…
When: 23 June, 16:00 – Watch Now The subtleties of structure and bonding in compounds of the rare earths (Group 3 and the lanthanides) and actinides are still poorly-understood. However, their complexes can exhibit strong and tuneable Lewis acidity, high and tuneable reduction capacity, and the capacity for rapid ligand…
