研究领域

We utilise our expertise in Catalysis to address Green Chemistry and Energy reactions. We are particularly interested in developing new catalysts and efficient routes to renewable chemicals from biomass and CO2. We believe that some of these targets will require the development of new advanced materials and we are developing these materials in partnership with colleagues in other disciplines. In particular we are studying novel nanostructured oxides, semiconductors, metal nanoparticles and porous polymers using high-throughput automated instruments for synthesis, characterisation and testing. We are also exploring the application of non-conventional technologies such as photocatalysis and microwaves for some of these applications. In addition to rapid discovery, we believe that high-throughput discovery if coupled with spectroscopy and HT characterisation, can aid to generating more fundamental advances, such as in generating structure-activity relationships in catalysis.
