The chemisorption of hydrogen on cobalt
Cobalt based catalysts are widely used within industry for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) in the production of sulphur free diesel. Despite the wide application of cobalt... -
FINDING NEW CLUES ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL BONES HEAT-INDUCED CHANGES PROBED BY NE...
Human skeletal remains from archaeological settings are studied by neutron vibrational spectroscopy as an innovative way of analysing these kind of samples, particularly aiming... -
Further studies of the ethanol-to-gasoline reaction
In our recent beamtime (RB 1820043 TOSCA and RB 1820044 MAPS), we prepared a series of ZSM5 samples that had undergone the ethanol-to-gasoline (ETG) reaction for different times... -
SHINING THE BEAM ON BONES: CHARACTERISATION OF BURNED AND FOSSILISED SKELETAL...
Neutron spectroscopy is applied to study bones exposed to anaerobic burning or fossilisation. The results thus obtained will complement previous data gathered by the team on... -
The expoitation of the A, B, C spectral signatures of H-bonds.
Intermediate strength hydrogen bonds, H-bonds, are known to play a role in the reactions of surface bound species, especially on the widely used industrial substrate... -
Characterisation of CuOH
Copper (I) hydroxide, CuOH, has been studied since the early 20th century, with inconclusive results. The material occurs at the surface of metallic copper immersed in water,... -
How does a catalyst promoter affect the degree of hydrogen retention of iron-...
We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how... -
INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -

This proposal requests 6 days of OSIRIS time to conduct QENS measurements on commercial zeolite catalysts which have been removed from a reactor converting methanol to gasoline... -
Dirac Point and Topological Triplon Bands in the Shastry-Sutherland Material ...
SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,... -
An INS Study of the Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetr...
TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth... -
Probing the nature of the interactions at the surface of fuel cell catalysts ...
The objective of this proposal is to identify the nature of species formed on the surface of the catalyst material when they are exposed to typical fuel cell feed stocks and... -
Investigating competitive diffusion of methanol, dimethyl ether and water in ...
The competitive diffusion of components of the zeolite catalysed methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) process will be investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The... -
Examining the properties of water channel in an organic matrix.
The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex... -
Quantification of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers relevant to the induction of i...
Recent experiences applying INS to examine a series of nickel-based methane reforming catalysts have enabled a generic experimental methodology to be developed. In collaboration...
