OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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
