4th UK Solar Fuels Symposium
Over 120 researchers from the Solar Fuels Network gathered at St John’s College School of Divinity, Cambridge, on Friday 22nd January for the 4th UK Solar Fuels Symposium. Chaired by Dr Erwin Reisner (University of Cambridge) and Dr Junwang Tang (UCL), this meeting gave UK researchers the opportunity to network and learn about recent progress in the field. Many thanks to Jane Leung and Moritz Kuehnel (Cambridge) and Isaac Gentle (Imperial College) for their excellent organisation and great success in attracting sponsorship!
Congratulations to Katherine Orchard (Cambridge) for winning best talk prize, and to Timothy Rosser (Cambridge) and Grace Lowe (Newcastle) for the best poster!
Thanks to Energy & Environmental Science for sponsoring the prizes, and to Strem Chemicals, Alvatek and Nature Energy for sponsoring the event. You can read more about the symposium here.
