Dr Simone Ciampi - Electrochemistry in 2D: new instruments for redox microscopy »
Monitoring or manipulating electrochemical reactions in 2D ‒ a central theme from analytical chemistry to cell biology ‒ is generally achieved using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM).

Dr Alexey Glushenkov - Title:Constructing dual-ion energy storage cells: capacitors and batteries »
Lithium-ion batteries operating via the so called “rocking chair” mechanism (insertion and de-insertion of lithium ion in both electrodes) are the current state-of-the-art energy storage solutions for many applications.

Dr Colin Scott - Title: Improving Nature’s Nanotechnology to Build Molecular Assembly Lines »
Biocatalysis is an attractive route for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, due to the properties of enzymes (high specificity and high catalytic rate)

Prof Feng Wang - Title: Digital structures and their applications in computational chemistry towards machine learning »
The fourth industrial revolution will be digital technology and computer simulation driven. Computational chemistry is turning into digital chemistry

(CANCELLED) Associate Professor Colette Boskovic - Title Inorganic Molecular Materials: Functional Metal Complexes »
Molecular materials with physical properties that can be controlled by external parameters, such as temperature, light or magnetic field are important synthetic targets because they form the basis of molecular devices

Professor Michelle Coote - Title Electrochemical and Electrostatic Catalysis of Chemical Reactions »
Chemists appreciate that the rate of redox reactions can be manipulated by means of an electrical potential gradient. However, it was only in 2016 that we showed that an external electric field can also be used to catalyze non-redox reactions, thereby opening up a new dimension to chemical catalysis.

Professor Qin Li - Title N-Doped Nanocarbons: Synthesis, Properties and Applications »
Nano-carbons, including carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon quantum dots, are offering not only the most conductive material in the world, but also the potential successor to conventional semiconducting material and new materials with extraordinary optical and catalytic properties that were not conceived in the past
