Biography
Erwin Reisner is a Professor of Energy and Sustainability at the University of Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies. His research focuses on solar CO₂ utilisation, artificial and semi-artificial photosynthesis, and solar-driven waste reforming. His honours include the Royal Society’s Hughes Medal and the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Tilden Prize. He is also the co-founder and CSO of Protonera, a plastic-waste reforming start-up.
Abstract
Inspired by photosynthesis, solar chemical technologies aim to convert sunlight into sustainable fuels and chemicals. This lecture will introduce artificial and semi-artificial photosynthetic systems that integrate semiconductor light absorbers with molecular or biological catalysts to convert CO₂ and water. It will then discuss solar reforming, which replaces water oxidation with the oxidation of waste biomass or plastics, enabling clean fuel production alongside waste valorization. Outdoor solar plastic reforming demonstrated at kilogram and square-metre scales highlights the potential for circular, solar-powered manufacturing. The lecture will also explore emerging directions, including atmospheric resource utilisation, advanced light management, and solar-powered cascade catalysis for selective chemical synthesis.
