Artificial Photosynthesis Post Faraday Meeting
[article date: 09.09.11]
The University of Edinburgh, Department of Chemistry
Sunshine on a Rainy Day...
The two day Post Faraday Artificial Photosynthesis meeting was hosted by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. Excellently organised by Dr. Anita Jones ( Edinburgh University ) and Professor Andy Benniston ( Newcastle University ), this meeting provided the opportunity for over 50 of the world's leading researchers in Artificial Photosynthesis to present and discuss their work.
Artificial Photosynthesis is an exciting approach to energy generation, and Gilden Photonics were delighted to support this event as part of our on-going commitment to the advancement of Research Science. Artifical Photosynthesis presents one solution to the dilemma of increasing energy production whilst restricting the emission of greenhouse gases. Artificial Photosynthesis is therefore a topic that covers many different scientific disciplines which were represented by the diverse range of speakers.
A popular favourite amongst the speakers was professor Robin Pertuz from York University who gave a dynamic lecture on CO2 Reduction with visible light. During an interlude in his presentation professor Pertuz challenged the audience ( and indirectly all those who are reading this ) to play an online chemistry game which is based on his work.
Spectroscopy is an important tool for researchers in Artificial Photosynthesis and at the meeting Gilden Photonics were demonstrating the fluoroSENS, a high performance, cost effective single photon counting fluorimeter. We also took this opportunity to distribute out new spectroscopy component catalogue which displays our frull range of Spectroscopy equipment, including Monochromators, Light sources, Spectrographs and CCD cameras.
Finally Gilden were also proud to present the prize of best poster to Mrs Stephanie Pendlebury a Research Postgraduate from the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College.
For further details on the Artificial Photosynthesis meeting, a copy of our new spectroscopy catalogue or for a demonstration of the fluroroSENS please does not hesitate to get in touch.
