The Interaction of Ammonia with Binary and Ternary Deuterides;
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... -
Vibrational properties of ammine complexes
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... -
Decomposition studies of Li(1-x)NaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3 and Li3Na(ND2)4
We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the... -
Low Temperature Ordering in ZrMn2+xD3 Superstochiometric Deuterides
ZrMn2H3 is a Laves Phase intermetallic hydride with interesting materials properties - unlike most Laves Phases, the parent alloy ZrMn2 is not a line phase but has a wide range... -
Structural studies of the cycling and decomposition of Mg(NH3)6(BH4)2
Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up... -
Ammonia adsorption studies of Li(11)BD4 and Mg((11)BD4)2
On exposure to ammonia, LiBD4 and Mg(BD4)2 form the respective ammoniates, Li(11)BD4(ND3)n and Mg((11)BD4)2(ND3)6. We have identified the decomposition temperatures, kinetics... -
Structural Studies of Li(ND3)n11BD4
On exposure to ammonia, Li(11)BD4 forms the ammoniate Li(11)BD4(ND3)n. Our recent experiment (RB820252) has shown that there are four distinct crystalline phases in the... -
The Interaction of Ammonia with Binary and Ternary Nitrides
We request 2 days on GEM in conjunction with the IGAn apparatus to investigate the formation of lithium amide (LiNH2) from the interaction of Li3N with ammonia (ND3), and the...
