When: 14 July 2021, 15:00 BST Computational studies of homogeneous catalysis play an increasingly important role in furthering (and changing) our understanding of catalytic cycles and can help to guide the discovery and evaluation of new catalysts. While a truly “rational design” process remains out of reach, detailed mechanistic information…
When: 15 June 2021, 15:00 – 16:00 GMTWhere: Virtual Following on from their 2020 “Introduction to Patents” webinar, Abel + Imray will be hosting a “Patents for Chemists” webinar with details of some further key considerations to keep in mind when you want to protect your ideas. Obtaining adequate protection…
When: 9 June 2021, 15:00 GMT Hydrothermal processing (HTP) of waste plastics can offer advantages over conventional thermochemical methods such as pyrolysis and gasification. This talk will present some results from the HTP of various model and real waste plastics for the recovery of energy and materials, along with the…
When: Tuesday 18th May, 15:00 GMT Catalytically reversible reactions, including alkene metathesis and transfer hydrogenation, have had an enormous impact on the development of synthetic strategies for the synthesis of bioactive compounds and important materials. However, the vast majority of chemically catalysed processes are non-reversible. In contrast, many enzyme-catalysed processes…
When: 12 May 2021, 14:00 Dr. Josie Goodall gave a webinar on project management methodologies and tools. Project management is a useful skill for all sizes of projects In this talk I give an overview of project management, some methodologies and tools and how it applies to research. The talk…
When: 26 April 2021, 15:00 GMT A joint webinar from 3 PhD students on catalysis. Alex Hawkins (Glasgow), Gareth Davies (Sheffield) and Gregory Sulley (Oxford) will talk about their PhD projects. Gareth Davies (Sheffield) – Operando studies of aerosol-assisted sol-gel (AASG) catalyst synthesis via combined optical trapping and Raman spectroscopy Aerosol-assisted heterogeneous catalyst…
When: 17 March 2021, 14:00 – 16:00 GMT A joint virtual meeting between the Applied Catalysis Group (ACG) and UK Catalysis Hub based around the theme of applied characterization. Speakers include: Janelle Steves (GSK)HTE in 3D High-throughput Experimentation (HTE) offers the opportunity to explore expansive reaction space in a plate-based…
When: 22 February 2021, 15:00 GMT Prof. Fernanda Duarte (Oxford) & Dr Ai-Lan Lee (Heriot-Watt) gave a joint seminar. Prof. Fernanda Duarte (Oxford)Chemical reactivity in solution and under confinement – Applications and computational developments Recent advances in both experimental and computational techniques pose an exciting yet challenging time for chemistry. Current computational…
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…
