Christmas is early this year! We're thrilled to have this awesome photoluminescence spectrometer up and running in the lab soon. Time-resolved in the visible AND NIR (up to ~ 1500 nm) with temperature control. Thanks @HScientific, and NSERC / CRSNG for the generous RTI funding!

Apply now to the British Columbia Indigenous Clean Energy Initiative (BCICEI). BCICEI provides support and capacity-building funds to Indigenous communities working on the development of clean energy projects.

UBCO CHEM319 Scientific Instrumentation course project demo: students built absorption spectrometers made from scratch (circuit, GUI, Lego) Dev the course with Dr. Godin SolarSpec was fun, seeing students design elements better than commercial system is satisfying! 👍UBC Science Okanagan

Awesome to see! Thanks to the 'tour guides'!

How can we decarbonize energy supplies in a sustainable, efficient and economical way? Dr. Robert Godin, @fosubco Assistant Professor, says the precise processing of a material called carbon nitride may be the key. news.ok.ubc.ca/2023/07/06/ubc…

Thanks for highlighting our work from Nanoscale journal family (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…)! We're excited about understanding these systems better and develop better photocatalysts.

Please RT. One week to go to submit abstracts for the RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group event held here at Chemistry - University of Strathclyde. The Solar Chemicals Network SuperSolar

Not sure when was the last update here, but two bits of very exciting news to share: 1) Congratulations to Peter on successfully defending his PhD thesis! Peter is the first (of many, right?) PhD graduate from the group. Way to go Peter!

2) Our work on cobalt-loaded carbon nitride for biomass photoreforming has been accepted in the new ACS Publications journal Artificial Photosynthesis! Looks like we're paper #5. Fabulous work by Mitchell and Jenna, two undergrads who did amazing stuff! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ap…
