Ted Sargent to give Seminar at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) Sept. 28th, Chu Hall Bld 30, Helios Conference Rm 206, 10am
On Thursday, September 28th, Ted Sargent will be giving a seminar at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) at Caltech. The seminar will be from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m in Chu Hall, Building 30 Helios in the Conference Room 206 & ZOOM.
With vast progress in solar-to-electricity conversion, large-scale energy storage will soon be a key bottleneck to continued growth in renewables deployment. Ted will update on some recent work in the development of heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the oxygen-evolution and CO2-reduction reactions. Ted will discuss joint efforts between computational chemistry and experimental catalyst synthesis and characterization; and will also discuss the catalysts’ incorporation into systems such as CO2 gas flow cells.

Ted Sargent to speak on “Materials and Systems for the Capture and Storage of Renewable Energy” at Stanford, Sept. 7th – Packard Rm 101, 4pm
Ted Sargent will be giving a special seminar at Stanford University Sept. 7th, 2017 – Packard Rm 101,
Rapid progress in the cost-effective conversion of solar and wind energy into electrical power brings about a new challenge: the massive (seasonal-scale) storage of energy. We focus on using computational materials science, spectroscopies including ultrafast and synchrotron, and advances in materials chemistry, to create new catalysts for CO2 reduction and oxygen evolution.
I will discuss recent advances including new high-activity OER catalysts and
