Welcome to our group's website!
Our research group was founded in July 2011 by Prof J.A. Lopez-Sanchez within the Stephenson's Institute for Renewable Energy and the Chemistry Department in the University of Liverpool.
Our overall goal is to contribute to a more sustainable developement by tackling some of the most challenging and exciting research problems that we face today, in particular in the application of Catalysis for green chemistry and energy. We are particularly interested in developing novel chemo- and biocatalysts and efficient routes to renewable chemicals from biomass, CO2 utilisation, photocatalysis and the utilisation of heterogenous catalysts for energy-related reactions. We believe that some of these targets will require the development of new advanced materials and we collaborate with other colleagues in the development of such new materials such as nanostructured oxides, metal nanoparticles and porous polymers using high-throughput automated instruments whenever advantageous .
