The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously...

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...

Bimetallic alloy catalysts with optimized metal ratio usually exhibit a superior catalytic hydrogenation activity and selectivity compared to individual mono-metallic catalysts,...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is made by the Beckmann rearrangement...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that...

This study aims at developing a reliable method for probing heat-induced diagenesis in human bones, by INS spectroscopy. The results thus gathered, coupled to Raman and FTIR...

This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,...

This study aims at developing a reliable method for probing diagenetic alterations in human bones upon burning events, by INS spectroscopy. The results will be coupled to Raman...

Previous NCS measurement on glass biocements revealed that setting is non-monotonic. Recent determinations using VESUVIO (2016-Apr) for Portland cements showed similar...

The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the...

We request 2 days on MAPS (or 3 days on MARI) to determine the extent of solvent segregation in a liquid-liquid phase-separated metal-amine: The Li-NH3-MeNH2 system. Recently we...

Hydrogen absorption in RMn2 Laves phases compounds lead either to RMn2Hx (where x < 4.5) interstitial hydrides under a moderate H2 pressure or to RMn2H6 complex hydrides...

This study aims at developing a reliable method for probing diagenetic alterations in human bones upon burning events, by INS spectroscopy. The results will be coupled to Raman...

This proposal is about understanding the atomic-scale structure of complex oxides that contain water or protons and that are used as electrocatalyts for water splitting. Such...

The aim of the current proposal, which is on the framework of an ILL Ph.D. project is to characterise the interactions (covalent or non-covalent) between carbon nanotubes (CNTs)...

We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One...

In collaboration with a major provider of Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalytic technology, the research team have recently demonstrated how INS can be used to probe iron...

The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman...
