In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Structures and thermal expansivity of recovered phases of urea II & III
Urea is a prototypical hydrogen-bonded small molecule that has stimulated considerable fundamental research into its structure, elastic properties and polymorphism. Amongst the... -
Thermal expansion of recovered high-pressure ice polymorphs
The ambient-pressure phase of ice is a well-known example of a molecular solid that exhibits negative volume thermal expansion below 60 K. In a recent study carried out on HRPD... -
