One year to go until the 5th International #SolarFuels conference – is it in your diary yet? 📆 Newcastle, 2–5 Sep 2025 We’re looking forward to bringing you world-changing science & vibrant networking at this internationally renowned conference: rsc.li/isf2025

Presented some of my PhD research at the RSC Photochemistry Photophysics group conference at the University of Sheffield. Really enjoyed the breadth of research discussed over the past 2 days ☀️🧪 big thank you to The Solar Chemicals Network for the travel grant 👍🏼

Our great Royal Society of Chemistry Photophysics and Photochemistry Group ECR Meeting 2024 is over! This edition was sponsored by the New Journal of Chemistry (NJC), Dalton Transactions, Photonics Solutions, and Dr Kerry Elgie (Asynt)! 1/4

This strongly reminds me of pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… published in J. Mater. Chem. family with Andy Cooper Sebastian Sprick John Ward and others not on here. No sign of alkyne carbons in the 13C MAS #NMR spectra.

It was great to host Kei Kamogawa from Prof. Ishitani’s group at Strathclyde yesterday. Great discussions on the science of photocatalytic CO2 reduction using metal complexes and conjugated materials ☀️🧪 irn bru and haggis also got the nod of approval 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

New group preprint out on ChemRxiv in which we study the optical properties of phenylthiolate capped CdS nanoparticles using GW-BSE doi.org/10.26434/chemr… (1/n)

🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨 📢 Published in Chemical Science 📰🧪 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… ☀️🧪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇯🇵🧪☀️ Beyond pleased to see our excellent piece of collaborative research published! There's a thread below if you are interested in more details on the research motivations.

Happy to have contributed to this paper by Ewan Ewan McQueen (Sebastian Sprick group, Glasgow, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) and Nori (Ishitani group, Tokyo/Hiroshima, 🇯🇵) on the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to formate by a hybrid conjugated-polymer-based photocatalyst

⚠ Update Meet the Royal Society of Chemistry PPG! Don't hesitate to get in touch with suggestions, comments or anything that could be useful to the #community! #chemistry #society PikramenouGroup Martijn Zwijnenburg Catherine S. de Castro Sebastian Sprick Guldi_Group Adrien Chauvet Eslava Group

Solar Suitcase Chemistry - University of Strathclyde on the road again. Visited Mearns Castle with Fiona, Connor and Ewan McQueen. Thanks The Solar Chemicals Network for funding.

⬛Join the Catalyst Design Strategies for Photo & Electrochemical Fuel Synthesis #ECAT25 NanogeConferences & share your work on hydrogen evolution, CO₂ reduction,nitrogen fixation & catalyst design 📍Madrid,Spain 🗓️10-11 February 2025 🔗Send an oral abstract:nanoge.org/ECAT25/home

Really nice talk by Sebastian Sprick about conjugated polymers as photocatalysis. #fotofuel school at IMDEA Energia

Delighted to be invited to two incredible symposiums in Madrid: the FOTOFUEL & SUNERGY Workshop on e-fuels for a climate-neutral Europe! I shared our research on novel materials for green fuels, scaling strategies & the NEXTCCUS project. Thanks to @SUNERGY_EU, The Solar Chemicals Network.

☀️🫶A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Solar Chemicals Symposium of the The Solar Chemicals Network Network this week Imperial College London. We saw amazing talks and posters on sustainable fuel and material research. So much inspiration! Great to organise it with Solar Coatings Group

At Dynamic Earth with Sophie from Chemistry - University of Strathclyde to talk about solar fuels and solar chemicals. Thanks to The Solar Chemicals Network for the support.

One week to go to the abstract submission deadline (24/03/25) for contributed talks at the 5th International #SolarFuels conference, which we're organising together with the Royal Society of Chemistry in Newcastle, UK, this September.

Two weeks to go before applications for the RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group Photophysics and Photochemistry Group Early Career Researcher Lectureship closes at 5 pm on Monday the 31st of March. For more details about the lecturship and how to apply see 👇 tweet below.

Good RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group committee meeting in sunny London this afternoon, including the opportunity to meet some of the new recently elected committee members.
