One of the best things I like about UNNC is its internationality. UNNC often has guest speakers from different universities and different countries. Attending their talks and research seminars not only allow me to know the cutting-edge research but also enable me to understand academia in different parts of the world. UNNC also has a great doctoral student community, and I found the peer support from the doctoral student community very helpful. I often discuss my PhD projects with other doctoral students from my discipline and also from other disciplines. I found that they always have useful comments and suggestions, and sometimes we could come up with something interesting to collaborate.

Research lights up process for turning CO2 into sustainable fuel

Researchers have successfully transformed CO 2 into methanol by shining sunlight on single atoms of copper deposited on a light-activated material, a discovery that paves the way for creating new green fuels.

An international team of researchers from the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham, University of Queensland and University of Ulm have designed a material, made up of copper anchored on nanocrystalline carbon nitride. The copper atoms are nested within the nanocrystalline structure, which allows electrons to move from carbon nitride to CO 2 , an essential step in the production of methanol from CO 2 under the influence of solar irradiation. The research has been published in the Sustainable Energy & Fuels Journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

In photocatalysis, light is shone on a semiconductor material that excites electrons, enabling them to travel through the material to react with CO 2 and water, leading to a variety of useful products, including methanol, which is a green fuel. Despite recent progress, this process suffers from a lack of efficiency and selectivity.

Carbon dioxide is the greatest contributor to global warming. Although, it is possible to convert CO 2 to useful products, traditional thermal methods rely on hydrogen sourced from fossil fuels. It is important to develop alternative methods based on photo- and electrocatalysis, taking advantage of the sustainable solar energy and abundance of omnipresent water.

There is a large variety of different materials used in photocatalysis. It is important that the photocatalyst absorbs light and separates charge carriers with high efficiency. In our approach, we control the material at the nanoscale. We developed a new form of carbon nitride with crystalline nanoscale domains that allow efficient interaction with light as well as sufficient charge separation. Dr Madasamy Thangamuthu, research fellow in the School of Chemistry

The researchers devised a process of heating carbon nitride to the required degree of crystallinity, maximising the functional properties of this material for photocatalysis. Using magnetron sputtering, they deposited atomic copper in a solventless process, allowing intimate contact between the semiconductor and metal atoms.

Tara LeMercier, a PhD student who carried out the experimental work at the University of Nottingham, School of Chemistry, said: “We measured the current generated by light and used it as a criterion to judge the quality of the catalyst. Even without copper, the new form of carbon nitride is 44 times more active than traditional carbon nitride. However, to our surprise, the addition of only 1 mg of copper per 1 g of carbon nitride quadrupled this efficiency. Most importantly the selectivity changed from methane, another greenhouse gas, to methanol, a valuable green fuel.”

Carbon dioxide valorisation holds the key for achieving the net-zero ambition of the UK. It is vitally important to ensure the sustainability of our catalyst materials for this important reaction. A big advantage of the new catalyst is that it consists of sustainable elements – carbon, nitrogen and copper – all highly abundant on our planet. Professor Andrei Khlobystov, School of Chemistry

This invention represents a significant step towards a deep understanding of photocatalytic materials in CO 2 conversion. It opens a pathway for creating highly selective and tuneable catalysts where the desired product could be dialled up by controlling the catalyst at the nanoscale.

This work is funded by the EPSRC Programme Grant ‘Metal atoms on surfaces and interfaces (MASI) for sustainable future’ www.masi.ac.uk which is set to develop catalyst materials for the conversion of three key molecules - carbon dioxide, hydrogen and ammonia – crucially important for economy and environment. MASI catalysts are made in an atom-efficient way to ensure sustainable use of chemical elements without depleting supplies of rare elements and making most of the earth's abundant elements, such as carbon and base metals.

The University of Nottingham is dedicated to championing green and sustainable technologies. The Zero Carbon Cluster has been set in the East Midlands to accelerate the development and deployment of innovation in green industries and advanced manufacturing.

University of Birmingham

The University of Birmingham is the UK university most targeted by the country’s leading graduate employers, a survey reveals.

According to ‘ The Graduate Market in 2024 ’, Birmingham attracted the most attention from employers featured in The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers list.

Compiled by independent research company High Fliers the report, conducted in January 2024, reveals that the five universities currently targeted by the largest number of the UK’s leading graduate employers are Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, and Bristol.

We are delighted to be the first choice for the UK’s leading employers who recognise the employability of graduates from the University of Birmingham – a testament to the breadth and quality of the education we provide. Professor Adam Tickell - Vice-Chancellor, University of Birmingham

The report notes that graduate recruitment at these employers decreased unexpectedly in 2023, following a sharp increase in graduate vacancies in both 2021 and 2022 as employers compensated for lower-than-usual recruitment during the Coronavirus pandemic.

It forecasts improvements, with the level of graduate vacancies available in 2024 expected to increase by 1.5%. For the third year running, graduate starting salaries at the UK’s leading graduate employers are set to increase to a new median starting salary of £34,000.

Graduate vacancies are set to increase significantly at engineering and industrial employers, with extra opportunities for graduates available in the public sector.

Professor Adam Tickell, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Birmingham, said: “We are delighted to be the first choice for the UK’s leading employers who recognise the employability of graduates from the University of Birmingham – a testament to the breadth and quality of the education we provide.

“Ensuring our students are ready for the world of work is a key part of their time with us. They benefit from a wide range of careers support, alongside exceptional and varied industry links in all our schools and departments – making them a great fit for employers seeking graduate recruits who can hit the ground running.”

The report ranks UK universities which have attracted the most top graduate employers for university careers fairs, on-campus employer presentations, university-specific virtual events, careers service promotions and initiatives, and other locally-run publicity during 2023-2024.

The University of Birmingham’s Careers Network organises more than 300 employer events on campus each year, as well as subject specific graduate recruitment fairs and events. The network also develops a range of work experience opportunities and internships to enhance skills development and employability amongst students.

This year’s predicted new median starting salary of £34,000 represents a rise of 13.3% since 2020 when the median starting salary at the country’s best-known graduate employers was £30,000. The most generous median salaries in 2024 are on offer from investment banks (£55,000), law firms (£50,000) and consulting firms (£47,500).

The highest published graduate starting salaries for 2024 include international law firms White & Case (£52,000) and Allen & Overy, Baker McKenzie, Clifford Chance, Herbert Smith Freehills, Latham Watkins, Linklaters, and Slaughter and May (each £50,000), and retailer Aldi (£50,000).

The University of Birmingham is ranked amongst the world’s top 100 institutions. Its work brings people from across the world to Birmingham, including researchers, teachers and more than 8,000 international students from over 150 countries.
