Shaping silica to mesoscale architectures at room-temperature
Hierarchical zeolites with molecular order at both the micropore (<2nm) and mesopore (2-50nm) level are able to combine confinement effects in catalysis without suffering... -
In Operando Diffusion Measurements on an All Solid-State Garnet Battery Cell ...
The development of all-solid state batteries is of significant interest as a solid electrolyte enables the removal of the flammable solvent phase and is stable to much higher... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
Adsorption of Alkylphenols onto the Surface of Polyamide-imide from Oil
Polyamide-imides are an important class of engineering polymers whose applications often call for high wear resistance whilst maintaining suitable lubrication. An understanding... -
Neutron reflectivity for lithium battery SEI formation
We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance.... -
Tracking the evolution of nano-precipitates in vanadium micro-alloyed steels ...
Third Generation Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) require higher strength and formability alongside a lower alloying element content for reduced energy consumption and CO2... -
Effect of oxidation on lipid raft formation: a SANS study
The separation of particular lipids in cell membranes into liquid ordered and liquid disorder regions is thought to have a major influence of the functioning of membrane... -
Characterising the corrosion/inhibition mechanisms of iron in different envir...
Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structuresessentially ferritic ironand are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes... -
Methane hydrate formation in the presence of clay minerals
We will study the formation of methane hydrates in situ in the presence of swelling clays. The aim is to understand and control heterogeneous hydrate nucleation at this... -
INS Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Materials for High Capacity Gas...
We seek to develop highly robust MOF materials as high capacity gas storage systems and request 12 days on TOSCA to study the binding interaction between adsorbed gas molecules... -
Orientational and conformational disorder in a halogen-ethane compound
The translational and orientational disorder of some liquids can be frozen if they are cooled down quick enough, giving rise to a Structural Glass (SG). But for some molecular... -
Neutron reflectivity studies on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) open up new perspectives in the solar cell market. The morphology of the active layer of PSCs plays a crucial role on the corresponding devices...
