DESCRIPTION:Iron based oxides involve a vast family of compounds with a hu
 ge range optical\, magnetic and electronic properties. In the solar fuels 
 context\, Fe2O3 is the most studied material of this family\, which is cha
 racterised by high chemical stability. A variety of strategies have been i
 mplemented to enhance the properties of these photoanodes\, which are limi
 tted by short carrier lifetimes and fast surface recombination kinetics. B
 eyond Fe2O3\, there are numerous reports on ternary ferrite including LaFe
 O3\, YFeO3\, PrFeO3\, GaFeO3 and BiFeO3\, exhibiting n and p-type conducti
 vity. In this talk\, I will present our recent findings on the structure-a
 ctivity relationships of these compounds and their potential as dimension
 ally stable photoelectrodes.\n\nBiography:\nAfter completing his undergrad
 uate degree at Universidad Simón Bolívar\, Venezuela\, with a final year
  project "Electrochemical Generation and Growth of Pyrrole" and spending a
  year as a research assistant\, David joined Professor Laurence Peter's gr
 oup at the University of Bath where he gained his PhD with a thesis entitl
 ed "Semiconductor Photoelectrochemistry: Multi-electron Transfer Processes
  at Illuminated Semiconductor | Electrolyte Interfaces" . David moved to S
 witzerland to become a postdoctoctoral fellow at École Polytechnique Féd
 érale de Lausanne (EPFL). David spent six years at EPFL before moving to 
 Universität Bern in 2003. After 4 years in Bern\, David and his group rel
 ocated to the University of Bristol\, England\, and the Bristol Electroche
 mistry group was created. With the award of a professorship in 2013\, Davi
 d has continued to develop the group and establish firm links with electro
 chemistry groups around the world.
