Good @RSC_Photochem committee meeting in sunny London this afternoon, including the opportunity to meet some of the new recently elected committee members.

[Martijn Zwijnenburg @ZwijCompChem]

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 @RoySocChem in Newcastle, UK, this September.

[RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group @RSC_Photochem]

Two weeks to go before applications for the @RSC_Photochem 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.

[Sebastian Sprick @SebSprick]

At @ourdynamicearth with Sophie from @StrathChem to talk about solar fuels and solar chemicals. Thanks to @SolarFuels_UK for the support.

[Anna Hankin @hankin_anna]

☀️🫶A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Solar Chemicals Symposium of the @SolarFuels_UK Network this week @imperialcollege. We saw amazing talks and posters on sustainable fuel and material research. So much inspiration! Great to organise it with @CoatingsSolar

[Mojtaba Abdi-Jalebi @M_AbdiJalebi]

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, @SolarFuels_UK.

[Marta Liras @LirasMarta]

Really nice talk by @SebSprick about conjugated polymers as photocatalysis. #fotofuel school at @IMDEA_Energia

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.

[Martijn Zwijnenburg @ZwijCompChem]

New group preprint out on @ChemRxiv in which we study the optical properties of phenylthiolate capped CdS nanoparticles using GW-BSE https://t.co/qIGPmCftjv (1/n)

[Ewan McQueen @McqueenEwan]

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Ewan McQueen @McqueenEwan]

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 @SolarFuels_UK for the travel grant 👍🏼

[Royal Society of Chemistry @RoySocChem]

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: https://t.co/SC9X9sLpBX
