@rjewestbrook @Stanford @SLAClab @gingerlabUW Thanks Rob, I’m already looking forward to it!

Travelling to SF reminds me of an overdue Twitter update: after a wonderful time in the UK I moved to California, securing a higher photon flux outside the lab and higher photon energies in the lab. Stay tuned for ultrafast x-ray science out of @Stanford & @SLAClab ☀️

Femtosecond x-ray pulses produced by the LCLS free electron laser allow us to simultaneously probe ultrafast electronic and structural dynamics. This recent article is a nice read: gizmodo.com/slac-lcls-x-ra…

Lots of exciting science (literally) at #JovesiCiencia2022 with our Artificial Photosynthesis team @camesaz @CarolinaP04 @CasadevallCarla @LaiaFraFor Roser and Lorenzo. Final day for me but our young scientists keep going - thanks to @PedreraFundacio for making it happen!

In #jovesiciencia2022 we have also discussed & thought about unconscious bias in science for our #futurescientists to build a scientific culture based on equality. #WomenInSTEM ☀️🌱 @camesaz @CarolinaP04 @CasadevallCarla @msachs_ Roser & Lorenzo @PedreraFundacio

Yesterday we arrived at MonNatura on time to measure the efficiency of 🍒 and 🍓DSSC, and they were not bad! ☀️🌱 #JovesiCiencia2022 @PedreraScience @camesaz @CarolinaP04 @msachs_ @CasadevallCarla Roser and Lorenzo

Yesterday evening we took advantage of the sun and did some water electrolysis using small Si solar cells! Did you know that your pencils can turned out to be quite useful? @PedreraScience @msachs_ @camesaz

Yesterday started a new edition of the youth and science summer camp organized by @PedreraScience with our members @CarolinaP04 @CasadevallCarla together with @msachs_ Roser @LaiaFraFor Lorenzo and @camesaz are teaching about artificial photosynthesis to the future generation!

In life and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, sometimes a different perspective helps! @WeidongXu7 excites his #perovskite films from top/bottom side & with different wavelengths to study #solarcell's charge carrier trapping and mobilities. doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrp…

The role of defects in photocatalysts is often multifaceted - here we provide an overview for metal oxides. Thanks to Ernest Pastor @ICFOnians @lonepair @shababa_selim @bakulingroup @durrant_group

@camesaz @omarsaenz @CarolinaP04 Long overdue! :)

Now online! Check out our study on organic semiconductor nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, in collaboration with @_iainmcculloch. Great work by Jan Kosco, @soragc, @msachs_, @hyojung_cha and all our collaborators. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

@ZwijCompChem Thanks Martijn for documenting!

And #UK_SFN9 is off with a talk by @msachs_ on carrier localisation in transition metal oxides with extended visible light absorption probed by transient spectroscopy

Over the past couple of weeks our past and present group members @camesaz @CarolinaP04 @msachs_ & Ernest @ICFOnians were in the Pyrenees spreading the word about Artificial Photosynthesis at #JovesiCiència, including virtual support from @LaiaFraFor & Lorenzo.

👉 New manuscript just accepted. #CO2 ☀️ photoreduction using hypercrosslinked polymers. Work led by Giulia Schukraft and @robbiewoody. Collaboration with @biradarsantosh @msachs_ @EslavaGroup. @ImperialChemEng @IMCRUnivie …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

@LanzettaLuis @GroupHaque @CPE_Imperial @impchemistry Congrats Luis, well done! :)

And it's finally done: PhD completed!! Thanks so much to everyone in and around @GroupHaque that have made this journey memorable and to my family for the surprise celebration 😊 Exciting times ahead!! @CPE_Imperial @impchemistry pic.twitter.com/TtjvFvfvGy

The latest issue of JACS is now live! ~ pubs.acs.org/toc/jacsat/142… Our cover comes from @SebSprick, @_iainmcculloch, @durrant_group acspubs.co/oFuT50B9XvU

@Mohammadbiot Sure, feel free to ask here or to send me a message

Our paper on charge transfer to residual metal clusters in polymer photocatalysts can be found on both the inside and the outside of the latest issue of @J_A_C_S. Read about the full study here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @CPE_Imperial @impchemistry
