During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for a dynamic and collaborative sandpit-style workshop jointly hosted by the UK Catalysis Hub and the Solar Chemicals Network. This one-day event is designed to bring together researchers across disciplines to explore new frontiers in solar-driven and sustainable catalytic processes. Through a series of short talks and interactive breakout discussions, we aim to spark collaborations and develop project concepts around shared research challenges.
Discussion themes include:
Photosynthesis: Natural to Artificial – Overview of the biological and synthetic landscape.
State-of-the-Art Electrocatalysis – Designed for non-electrochemists to discover new approaches. Translating electrocatalysts in solar driven devices.
Bridging Research Communities – Integration of photoelectrochemical, electrocatalytic, organic, and plasmonic science.
Covering topics including:
Water oxidation – translating active catalysts in solar driven materials.
Light driven N2 reduction – Sustainable strategies and current challenges.
Photo- and electrocatalysts for waste to value products – including biomass, pollutants.
Speakers include:
Prof. Alexander Cowen, Liverpool
Prof. Erwin Reisner, Cambridge
Prof. Ludmilla Steier, Oxford
Prof. Ifan Stephens, Imperial College London
Dr. Jenny Zhang, Cambridge
