Herein, we review the recent progress of rational strategies to enable the use of microsized alloy anodes (Si, P, Sb, Sn, etc.) including electrolyte modulation, binder design and architecture engineering. We also provide perspectives on future directions and remaining challenges of microsized anodes towards practical applications.

In this work, the main factors affecting the reaction performance of Pd-based catalysts for direct synthesis of H2O2 and the active sites of catalysts have been reviewed and discussed in detail. The development and design of catalysts with high efficiency were introduced from three aspects: the catalyst support, active component and atomic impurity.

The influence of the Pt nanoparticle size on the ammonia electrooxidation reaction was investigated. PM-IRRAS was combined with electrochemical measurements to explore ammonia electrooxidation on carbon-supported Pt/C NPs in alkaline environments. The study demonstrated a clear relationship between the nanocatalyst size and catalytic activity.

This study presents a new equivalent circuit model to analyze impedance spectra at low hydrogen partial pressures. The proposed model accurately describes the impedance response and explains the performance decrease at low hydrogen concentrations.

Are you interested in a career that can really make a practical contribution to helping address the challenges that presently face the world, e.g. the discovery of new drugs to fight disease, or inventing new materials for biomedical devices?

The Pharmaceutical & Industrial Chemistry degree course qualifies you for employment in a variety of professional careers in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, biomedical and chemical sectors. The course structure combines both theory and practical work to ensure graduates are well prepared for the challenges of a position in each of these fields upon graduation. Fundamental and applied aspects of organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry are covered as well as key elements of computational chemistry and chemical engineering.

In the third year of the programme, you will spend eight months as a full-time paid employee of a pharmaceutical or chemical company during the work placement period (Cooperative Education). The course is accredited by the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) with graduates eligible for RSC Chartered Chemist status.

The second-year builds upon these fundamentals while introducing modules in Process Technology and Photochemistry. During the third and fourth years students will undertake additional modules in Polymer Chemistry, Process Technology, Safety in Industry, Computational Chemistry, Chemical Nanotechnology, Advanced Analytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Formulation. The Cooperative Education work placement occurs in year three from early January to the end of August.

In 2018 Emily started in the Biological and Chemical Sciences common entry course and later chose one of the four exit routes. Emily completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry in the University of Limerick in 2022. During her time in UL she carried out her eight month co-operative placement in Regeneron as a manufacturing intern.

I chose the BSc in Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry because I liked chemistry in school and was always interested in the pharmaceutical industry. The course offered a wide range of chemistry modules and UL???s tutoring programme meant that support was available to help me do well in what I found to be the tougher modules.

My work here at Abbot is primarily project based. It is very varied and some of my daily tasks include: performing testing on raw materials and finished goods, dealing with representatives from contract labs, statistical trending of results, design of experiments, investigative work, presenting to management and many others.
