Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

We request 10 days on IRIS to study the diffusion of adsorbed H2 gas and hydrocarbon molecules (C2H2, C2H4, C2H6) within a functional porous metal-organic framework (MOF) as a...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

La(Fe,Si)13 shows a giant magentocaloric effect, which makes it a highly potential candidate as solid coolant in refrigeration systems. The Curie-temperature can be adjusted to...

We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of...

Alloy catalysts are commonly employed for selective hydrogenation of organic molecules due to their enhanced selectivity than individual components but their structural and...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, to carry out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural...

Halogenomethane derivatives (CClnBr4-n, n= 4, 3, 2) exhibit a series of thermally induced solidsolid phase transitions before melting attributed to the ability to gain...

We ask for 3 days on TOSCA to conduct Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy on potassium/sodium encapsulated in silica gel materials (K2Na-SG) and for in situ formation of...

We have synthesised a Co centred and an In centred MOF which represent the first examples of MOFs in which the channels are functionalized by both acidic carboxyl and basic...

Hydrogen binding to coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUMCs) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been extensively studied in our group using neutron powder diffraction...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

We ask for 3 days on TOSCA to conduct Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy on Na encapsulated in silica gel materials (Na-SG) and for in situ formation of Na-amide encapsulated in...

Ammonium borohydride (ABH2) has been studied as a hydrogen storage material, it stores hydrogen on both cationic and anionic sites and has the largest gravimetric and volumetric...

We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor that has a number of interesting applications especially its optoelectronic (blue and near UV light emitting properties, as a...

Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. There has recently been work on a more mobile phase of AB (denoted AB*) which is formed (via the...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

Constructing new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide and is a ¿hot topic¿ owing to their potential for gas storage,...
