Materials

We develop new materials for the net zero future. There is a range of research activities covering materials synthesis and design, advance materials characterization, and the applications of materials towards the UN’s sustainable development goals, such as good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy.

Catalytic materials, and in particular evaluation and understanding of materials performance in catalytic reactions that are related to the net zero economy and sustainable processes
