The International Symposium on Next-Generation Solar Cells and Solar Energy Conversion will be taking place from the 21^st– 24^thNovember 2016 at the National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The event is jointly organised by the National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) and coincides with the 120^th anniversary of NCTU and the 175^thanniversary of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The objectives are to allow researchers to explore new technologies for the next-generation of solar cells and to share research ideas and results on the latest advances in solar energy conversion. It is hoped that this will lead to new collaborations and partnerships between the scientists involved. Our Programme Manager for International Engagement, Kathleen Too, will be in attendance as conference co-organiser.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A and Journal of Materials Chemistry C will be sponsoring the event by providing a total of 6 poster prizes with certificates and one year free online access to the respective journal for the winners and the Royal Society of Chemistry is also supporting several of the UK speakers to participate in this symposium.

MOF in a bottle

16 Jun 2016

Scientists in Belgium have discovered how to make metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) from waste plastic bottles.

MOFs are porous polymers that excel in a range of applications from gas storage to catalysis and sensing. Scientists usually make MOFs from high purity chemicals, which are expensive and generate huge amounts of waste during their production. To produce MOFs on a large scale, researchers must find more environmentally friendly production methods and easily available source materials.

Interested? The full article can be read in Chemistry World.
