SUMMARY:In-situ Monitoring of Photocatalytic Processes within Optofluidic 
 Hollow-Core Fibre Microreactors using Various Spectroscopic Techniques - D

CONTACT:Dr Thomas McCoy
DESCRIPTION:In the optofluidics group at the Cavendish Laboratory\, Dr Ale
 xander Gentleman and colleagues have developed multiple setups utilising o
 ptofluidic hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) to investigate th
 e intricate details underlying photocatalytic systems.\n\nThe group aims t
 o gain more insight into the electron transfer kinetics of photosensitiser
 s (PSs)\; a key component comprising photocatalytic systems utilised in so
 lar fuel production. One particular type of PS of interest to the group ar
 e carbon nanodots (CNDs)\, which are proposed as next-generation PSs due t
 o their unique advantages over conventionally-implemented PSs\, such as sc
 alability\, biocompatibility\, water solubility\, and stable optical prope
 rties\, together with being effective light-harvesters in photocatalytic s
 ystems for solar fuel production.\n\nIn this seminar\, Dr Gentleman will d
 iscuss his results in detail\, in addition to presenting some additional w
 ork on other photocalaytic systems of interest.
