4th UCL Materials Hub Workshop: Renewable Energy on 05 June 

The 4th UCL Materials Hub workshop: Renewable Energy was hosted by our group on 05 June.

Two exciting topics have been discussed in the workshop, renewable energy production by heterogeneous catalysis and phtotcatalysis, with lectures delivered by globally renowned speakers at UCL and from Japan.
