Sunlight-to-X Workshop, 23 - 26 November 2026, UNSW Kensington Campus
Overview
Join us to explore the fundamentals and emerging advances in solar-to-x technologies for production of clean fuels and value-added chemicals
Solar-to-X Workshop is an international research program hosted by the Particles and Catalysis Research Group at UNSW Sydney as part of the Sunlight to Hydrogen Research Hub. Held from 23–26 November 2026 in the beautiful city of Sydney, the Symposium will bring together PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career academics, and industry professionals from around the world working in solar-driven energy conversion and catalytic fuel production.
Over four focused days, participants will explore the fundamentals and emerging advances in Solar-to-X technologies, which convert solar energy into fuels and value-added chemicals such as hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic hydrocarbons, and carbon-neutral feedstocks. Through expert lectures, interactive workshops, panel discussions, flash talks and networking activities, the Symposium will bridge cutting-edge academic research with industrial innovation in sustainable energy technologies.
PROGRAM
Participants will attend a mix of lectures and hands on tutorials, workshop and social networking event. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from international experts in the field, develop in depth technical understanding on catalyst characterisation techniques and a broad appreciation of the best practices associated with solar energy conversion.
The programme will cover:
- Best practices and advanced research tools in catalysis and materials characterisation
- Science communication and research impact
- Commercialisation and technology translation
Research themes including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, thermal catalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and hybrid or combined catalytic approaches.
