Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Lecture 2026 – Vers des carburants et engrais solaires

Traduction en français…

Towards Solar Fuels and Fertilisers: Managing Proton and Electron Currency through Molecular Design Life runs on electrons and protons. Together, or as hydrogen-atom equivalents, they allow plants to store solar energy, underpin the fuels that power society, and help make the fertilisers needed to sustain life. Simply put, hydrogen atoms decorate many of the key molecular building blocks of our world. Chemists would like to harness this same basic currency to make fuels, fertilisers, and other useful molecules using renewable electricity or light. The challenge is control. Protons and electro…
