Imagine travelling thousands of miles just to spend your evenings doing zoomies over the same few houses... It's hard not to be impressed 👇 #SwiftAwarenessWeek

Thanks to everyone who has donated and shared so far. We are two-thirds of the way there, with more to come. ONE LAST chance to have your donations doubled - all day today. Help us do something good, and make space for nature and people through rewilding. donate.biggive.org/donate/a05WS...

Today is St. Georges Day. At Somerset Wildlands we think rewilding in a place as important to the history of England as the Somerset Levels is a powerful symbol of the kind of country we could be. Help us build a wilder, more nature-rich future for everyone. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Very happy to be back in Newcastle for #PVSAT from the @iop.org

It’s #WorldBookDay! Admittedly, not a particularly bird-related day. Don’t worry. We’ve fixed that by asking RSPB staff to redesign their favourite book covers… with birds. 📚

So excited to see 4 redwing in the garden today alongside the more regular visitors #BigGardenBirdwatch

I really enjoyed writing this comment on what we need to do to drive circularity for perovskite solar cells with the very knowledgeable @mldavies04.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I realise that I haven't posted in a long time as I have been busy teaching a new energy materials course and applying for grants. Now exhausted and looking forward to the end of term!

Only two more weeks, don't miss your chance to re-connect with your scientific family! Sign up at www.chem25.co.uk and join us for a fun day in Bath @bathchem.bsky.social

It's going to be a wonderful event!

University of Bath Chemistry@bathchem.bsky.social · last yr.

🧪 Celebrating 25 years of Chemistry in 1 South at the University of Bath 🎉 Talks from alumni + familiar faces, then food + music as the sun sets. 🌇 Good vibes. Great people. 📆 Register by Sept 1 💷 £20 / £10 (students) thanks to our sponsors 🙌 🔗 www.chem25.co.uk #Chem25 #UniOfBath #Chemistry

The photograph at the end is stunning.

Keir Starmer, your government promised bold action on climate and nature - but this isn’t it. ❌ It’s a move that risks tearing up our chances for a future where nature, people, and the economy thrive.

My kids say it is the absolute best day of the year so far - proper snow!

These webinars are really good!

Upcoming exclusive event for @roysocchem.bsky.social members: How to stand out as an early career researcher. This free event on 30 Jan 2025 (13:30) takes place online and includes speakers from academia and publishing. www.rsc.org/events/detai... #Chemsky

A new collaborative paper with Will Clark and Giles Richardson. We think that short term impedance measurements may be a powerful tool to predict the long term stability of perovskite solar cells pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Predicting Long-Term Stability from Short-Term Measurement: Insights from Modeling Degradation in Perovskite Solar Cells during Voltage Scans and Impedance Spectroscopy

A drift-diffusion model is used to investigate the effect of device degradation on current–voltage and impedance measurements of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Modifications are made to the open-source drift-diffusion software IonMonger to model degradation via an increasing recombination rate during the course of characterization experiments. Impedance spectroscopy is shown to be a significantly more sensitive measure of degradation than current–voltage curves, reliably detecting a power conversion efficiency drop of as little as 0.06% over a 4 h measurement. Furthermore, we find that fast degradation occurring during impedance spectroscopy can induce loops lying above the axis in the Nyquist plot, the first time this experimentally observed phenomenon has been replicated in a physics-based model.
