Materials for Solar Energy Conversion Symposium

10 am – 6 pm, Wednesday 26th April
Huxley Building, South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London

This symposium is the first event to be hosted jointly by the Solar Fuels Network and the EPSRC solar energy consortium, SuperSolar. The aim of the meeting is to bring the UK PV and solar fuels communities together to discuss shared interests around fundamental aspects of materials for solar energy conversion. The symposium will feature invited presentations from research leaders in both fields.

Invited speakers:
Professor Mark van Schilfgaarde, King’s College London
Professor Andy Cooper, University of Liverpool
Professor Neil Robertson, University of Edinburgh
Professor Upul Wijayantha, Loughborough University
Professor David Fermin, Bristol University
Professor James Durrant, Imperial College London
Dr Elizabeth Gibson, Newcastle University
Professor Jenny Nelson, Imperial College London
Dr Erwin Reisner, University of Cambridge

Registration is free. For more information, registration and poster abstract submission visit the website.

CPE/Sustainable Energy & Fuels Symposium

Sustainable Energy & Fuels is delighted to host a joint symposium with the Centre for Plastic Electronics at Imperial College London. Organised by Editor-in-Chief James Durrant, it features talks from three of our Associate Editors on new materials for solar energy conversion.

Garry Rumbles (NREL, USA)
“Microwave Conductivity Studies of Mobile Carriers in Conjugated Polymers and Solar Perovskites”

Vincent Artero (CEA Grenoble, France)
“Molecular-based H2-evolving photocathodes”

Ryu Abe (Kyoto University, Japan)
“Visible Light Responsive Photocatalysts toward Solar Hydrogen Production”

The symposium will be held at 2–5 pm on Thursday 30th March at the Pippard Lecture Theatre (Level 5, Sherfield Building), South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London. A refreshments and networking session will follow.

First issue of Sustainable Energy & Fuels now online

We are delighted to announce that the first issue of Sustainable Energy & Fuels is now online and available to read free of charge.

Packed full of the latest high-quality research in the energy community, our inaugural issue includes contributions by Volker Presser, Michael Lyons, Say Chye Joachim Loo, Editor-in-Chief James Durrant, and Associate Editors Marta Sevilla and Vincent Artero on topics such as batteries, photovoltaics and catalysis for energy technologies. All Sustainable Energy & Fuels content in 2017 and 2018 is free to access on registration.

“The launch of Sustainable Energy & Fuels has been very positively received by colleagues worldwide,” James says. “The journal fills a key gap in the portfolio and will be a very valuable resource for scientists working on the grand challenge of developing more sustainable energy and fuel technologies.”

Check out some of the articles below or access the whole first issue here.
