The Pike Group is an Inorganic Chemistry Research group at the University of Warwick. The group studies metal-oxo cluster molecules which absorb light and can be used as photocatalysts for chemical transformations and to make sustainable 'solar' fuels.
These intriguing molecular clusters also help us to explain the reactivity on the surface of widely utilised metal oxide materials such as TiO2 and CeO2. We are interested in the similarities and differences between molecules and materials and how size can effect properties.
We have diverse interests across Inorganic Chemistry including organometallic reactivity, catalysis, crystallography and materials science.
The group has two fully funded PhD opportunities open for applicants.
Come join our team to use Warwick's state-of-the-art electron diffractometer to study reactivity in porous crystalline materials and MOFs
or work with us and Prof. Nick Hine to study the electronic structure of photoactive Fe-oxo clusters using advanced computational methods.
