Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have recently surpassed 10% power conversion efficiency (PCE), a key milestone towards commercialisation. Achieving validated lifetimes beyond 10...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because of their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

Shale is an increasingly important source of natural gas and potential candidate for carbon dioxide sequestration. Understanding the gas adsorption behavior on shales is of key...

We have prepared the transition metal borohydride hydrazinates (ZBH) for the first time. Zn(BH4)2-2N2H4 exhibits pure hydrogen evolution below 200 °C as determined by...

Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an...

Constructing new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide and is a ¿hot topic¿ owing to their potential for gas storage, separation,...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

We propose to use MARI to measure the molecular and framework dynamics in CH3NH3PbCl3 which has become of interest in the context of efficient photovoltaics. CH3NH3PbCl3 is...

Graphene oxide is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include energy-related...

At an interface between electrolyte and electrode in lithium-ion secondary batteries, a thin layer, called as a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), plays a significant role for...

In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a...

Bismuth niobium oxide (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer radio frequency and microwave components such as chip LCs and capacitors. While the low temperature forms of this...

Deformation in polycrystalline material is inhomogeneous. Our previous study using neutron diffraction has shown due to these inhomogeneities, during high temperature cyclic...

We request one day’s beam time on SANS2D for the study of hydrated, radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes synthesised with different grafting times. These materials are...

Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before...

Graphene is defined as a: ‘single layer of carbon atoms with each atom bound to three neighbours in a honeycomb structure’. This suggests that in a macroscopic, manageable...

We request 5 days on Nimrod to determine the local environment of Li cations in a set of polyther solvents used as battery electrolytes. Through increasing the chain lengths of...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...

In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential...
