The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

We have developed and demonstrated a novel process to overcome chemical reaction equilibrium constraints on an important reversible industrial chemical reaction by using...

Catalysts used for water-gas shift reactions, and other important industrial processes, often suffer from deposition of hydrocarbon and carbon species (coking) to reduce their...

Transition metal ions can be easily introduced in the B-site of perovskites with general formula ABO3 and exsolved on their surfaces upon reduction, to enhance the catalytic...

We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and...

Our research team have an ongoing project investigating ion diffusion processes in solid electrolyte and hydrogen storage materials. In terms of the former, we have been...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Photovoltaics are one of the most promising technologies for meeting future energy requirements. CH3NH3PbI3 was first used in a solar cell in 2009, which gave an efficiency of...

Porous functional metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great potential for high capacity gas storage and separation. We seek to develop new materials for carbon capture...

We ask for 3 days on EMU to study the Muon spectroscopy of both LiBH4 and Ca(BH4)2 as a function of temperature from 90K-650K. These materials have been extensively...

We ask for 1 day on HRPD to study the aristotype disordered rock-salt phase of ammonium borohydride. Our goal is to determine accurate cubic harmonic parameters to determine the...

The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate...

Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. As a result, systems need to be highly reliable. This requires a...

BaH2 has application in hydrogen storage technologies. We propose to study BaH2 by Quasi-elastic neutron scattering. We will perform scans at different temperatures for up...

We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable...

Remarkably, hydrogen may be activated for chemical reaction at room temperature using a new family of frustrated Lewis acid-base pair (FLB) materials. In these complexes...

The interaction of ammonia with binary hydrides (prototypically, the interaction of LiH with ammonia gas) is thought to be the predominant interaction for hydrogen production...

Synthetic georgite has shown high catalytic activity for a number of catalytic processes including methanol synthesis and the water gas shift reaction. Consequently, it is of...

Our intention is to study the INS spectra of ammine complexes nNH3LiBH4 (with n = 1,2,3,4) and nNH3LiI (n=1). Ammine complexes (MXm(NH3)n), amides (M(NH2)m), and imides...

We propose to study hydride ion diffusion in AEH2 (AE = Ca and Ba) using the QENS technique. We have recently demonstrated that the charge carrier in these materials are hydride...
