UK Catalysis Hub and SCN Joint Workshop
31st October 2025
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
