DESCRIPTION:Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that captures 
 and stores the energy from sunlight in a chemical fuel (a so called solar 
 fuel). This renewable process requires the finely tuned combination of lig
 ht absorption\, charge separation and chemical catalysis\, which is superb
 ly coupled in natural photosynthesis but much less so by artificial system
 s. This presentation will summarise our recent progress in developing appr
 oaches to interface enzymes and synthetic catalysts with semiconductor mat
 erials to photo-split water as a sustainable route to the energy vector hy
 drogen.\n\n*Entry is free to all and free refreshments will be provided.*
