The research interests of the Mills group are wide and varied including: dye and semiconductor photochemistry, redox catalysis (in particular, oxygen catalysis), solar energy conversion (in particular artificial photosynthesis) and colour and fluorescence based indicators and smart inks and plastic films.
The Mills group sent representatives to the Harwell campus in Oxfordshire to give talks and presentations on their work on semiconductor photocatalysis and SODIS. The campus was open to the public, and over the course of the day over 15,000 people passed through to see the cutting edge in science and engineering.
