The supply of clean sustainable energy is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Better batteries for electric cars and solar power for homes require advances in new materials and underpinning science. Using 3D glasses, Saiful Islam will show how atomic-scale modelling and structural chemistry are helping us explore new energy materials for a low carbon future.

Saiful has asked the Q&A not to be published.

Saiful Islam is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Bath and presented the 80th anniversary Christmas Lectures in 2016 on the theme of energy.

This discourse was filmed at the Ri on 25 January 2019.
