Great week at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and Tsinghua University within the framework of an EPSRC UK-China Project “Sustainable Processing of Energy Materials from Waste” between ICL, UCL, QMUL, CAS and TU. Below some pictures of the workshop!

Thanks to all participants of the London Energy Materials and Devices Hub meeting! Great event with fantastic talks and posters! Thanks also to the Royal Society of Chemistry and the STFC Batteries and UCL Chemical Engineering Department for supporting this event.

Below some pictures of the event. Looking forward to the next meeting!

All the best to Dr Maria Crespo in her new postdoc adventure at Prof. Titirici’s group at ICL. Thanks for your great job on flow batteries during this last year, and thanks to CAM-IES for supporting this project in collaboration with Dr. Jervis and the EIL.

This week, we are at the Cosener House, in Abingdon, for the 2019 STFC Early Career Researchers conference. Below Maria, how presented yesterday her work in flow batteries.

Below pictures of the talks of some of our group members at the First Chemical Engineering Division Research Symposium held the 7th March 2019, in the School of Engineering and Materials Science of Queen Mary University of London. 

Pavel is spending a short stay at the Institute of Materials of Seville, modifying his freestanding electrodes by using plasma enhanced CVD. Above a picture of him enjoying traditional Andalusian music.

Maria and Ana are spending this week at the LISE in Paris, performing electrochemical studies on electrospun carbon mats for energy storage applications using quartz microbalance, in collaboration with Dr. Ozlem Sel. Below some pictures of us doing some work and also enjoying great food and company.

Welcome Carlos! Carlos has just joined our group to conduct his PhD project. He will be working on hybrid spin selective chiral systems for electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis applications. You can find more about him here.

We held the MRI Christmas Symposium on the 12th December 2018. It was a great success, with talks from different disciplines from Dentistry to Materials Science, Engineering, Chemistry and Physics. We also had a very interesting poster session, with plenty of fruitful discussions. Thanks to all that contributed to an amazing event and congratulations to the winners for the best talks and posters! Well done!

Arun has joined our group as a postdoc on oxygen bifunctional electrocatalysts. You can find more info about Arun here.
