Assoc.-Prof. of Applied Materials Chemistry. Porous polymers. Scouse scientist living in Vienna. 🇬🇧/🇦🇹https://bsky.app/profile/robbiewoody.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/robbiewoody.bsky.social/post/3lqcqgzi2dc25📢 New paper in Advanced Science! We report low-cost fabrics for solar-driven interfacial evaporation. Just 1 m² of fabric can produce ~4 L of clean water per hour!💧 Thanks to Mingqing (our visiting CSC student) & her supervisor in Shanghai, Yaozu. https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.20250410029 May 2025 12:40 +0000at://did:plc:skzmdxliycctmzh7slprqp3a/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqcqgzi2dc25https://bsky.app/profile/robbiewoody.bsky.social/post/3llerddzfcc2v🚨 PhD opportunity 🚨 Join us in Vienna 🇦🇹 to develop porous polymer membranes for selective water purification.💧 Remove heavy metals, REEs & PFAS, and explore sustainable recovery.

We had a great time in Manchester meeting our partners. Together, we are developing new high-voltage cables to connect offshore wind farms to the grid: dcdynamic.eu20 Nov 2024 15:33 +0000at://did:plc:skzmdxliycctmzh7slprqp3a/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbfbk7no5s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/robbiewoody.bsky.social/post/3lbcnm4e3ls2iIn our latest work, we used sulfonated hypercrosslinked polymers as acid catalysts for esterification. We found a weird payoff - more acidic networks gave faster conversions while less acidic catalysts, although slower, gave much improved selectivities.19 Nov 2024 14:31 +0000at://did:plc:skzmdxliycctmzh7slprqp3a/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcnm4e3ls2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/robbiewoody.bsky.social/post/3lbcdvd2wws2zI’m pleasantly surprised at how many scientists have migrated here! 🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬19 Nov 2024 11:37 +0000at://did:plc:skzmdxliycctmzh7slprqp3a/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcdvd2wws2z
