The most recent Faraday Discussion 172 was held in Sheffield from the 28-30 July 2014. This discussions main focus was on the use of Carbon materials in electrochemistry applications. Topics included graphene, carbon nanotubes and carbon at the nanoscale; diamond and sp³ carbons in electrochemistry; carbon electrodes in electrochemical energy technology; and understanding and controlling the carbon interface.

Several members of the Warwick electrochemisty and Interfaces Group were in attendance including Prof. Patrick Unwin, Prof. Julie Macpherson, Dr. Aleix Guell, Guohui Zhang and Lingcong Meng. Professor Patrick Unwin was an invited speaker at the discussion, and the paper co-authored by Dr Aleix Guell was a main topic of discussion - "Mapping Nanoscale Electrochemistry of Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes". PhD students Lingcong Meng and Guohui Zhang both presented posters on their latest research.
