Hydride-ion mobility analysis of SrVO2H using quasielastic neutron scattering
The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among... -
A QENS Study of Guaiacol, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxygenation Ca...
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
Separation of factors contributing to the overall diffusion behaviour of olef...
This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated... -
A QENS Study of Benzyl Phenyl Ether, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxy...
Bio-oil is an alternative and renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective... -
Towards Active Site Orientation Kinetics in Solution with Quasielastic Neutro...
Catalysts are used in virtually all industrial chemical transformations to control reaction pathways by directing the environment around the reactant. Many structural... -
Local structure of ortho-terphenyl glass
Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by... -
Dynamic transition of Poly(ethylene glycol) with or without the solvation water
Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the dynamics and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of debates. Chen et... -

Quasielastic Neutron scattering Study of Water dynamics in Hydrated Cellulose...
The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes... -
QENS studies of Na-ion battery materials
LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related... -
The local environment and nuclear dynamics of hydrogen in corannulene
Corannulene, C20H10 is synthetic molecule sharing many similarities with fullerene, like charge transfer capabilities, a bended shape and the possibility to be intercalated by... -
Microscopic Dynamics of Confined Water in Hexagonal Phase of REPO4 (RE=Y, La)
Confined water, a common natural phenomenon, shows very different structural, dynamical and phase behaviour vis-à-vis bulk, and it is depended on the host-water interactions.... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
Study on the dynamics of hydride ion conduction in new oxyhydrides
Hydride ion conductors are the new frontier materials in the research field of solid-state ionics. Indeed, hydride ion conduction is particularly attractive for electrochemical... -
Nano-scale free volume and encapsulation properties of biopolymers: opening i...
Edible biopolymers are routinely used in the encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive ingredients (e.g. medicines, nutrients, flavours). Common encapsulants are in... -

High temperature superstructures in thermoelectric oxides
Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,... -
High-pressure studies of methyl stearate
In order to tackle emissions targets for CO2, there is increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels. Biodiesel is one such renewable transportation fuel that... -
Spin-orbit transitions in CoV3O8
Strong orbital mixing resulting from local distortions in the crystal field can mix higher energy orbital states with the ground state. We propose to characterise this mixing in... -
Dynamics of trehalose-glycerol and lysozyme/trehalose-glycerol mixtures
The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of trehalose/glycerol mixtures and lysozyme in presence of trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration....
