Gold LEAF award 2022
Pike and Brikert Groups awarded a Gold LEAF award for sustainable laboratory practice. Well done to Tom and Manpreet for their hard work in achieving this!
Sebastian Pike Research Group
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.
