SCN Travel Award helps fund attendance at the 245th Electrochemical Society Meeting in San Francisco

With help from the SCN Travel Award scheme Romaine Tort, from Imperial College London, attended the 245th Meeting of the Electrochemical Society in San Francisco, USA. This conference is the largest meeting fully dedicated to electrochemistry on the American continent, with over a thousand attendees each year.  Romain attended to present his work on electrochemical nitrogen reduction to ammonia and his search for catalysts beyond Lithium.

Presenting this work at the 245th ECS meeting was a unique opportunity for him to meet and network with colleagues across the Atlantic. Several discussions followed his presentation, including one with the aim of establishing a new collaboration across research groups in different countries, to explore said chemistries beyond lithium. In addition, he got the chance to attend many talks from researchers directly or closely related to his research field, ask questions directly and get inspired by their research. All this feeds into Romain’s research endeavours toward progressing the sustainable synthesis of fertiliser and carbon neutral fuels.
