A future hydrogen economy requires dense, safe, efficient and reversible hydrogen storage materials [1]. For mobile and in many cases also for stationary applications the...

We request 9 days on TOSCA to study (i) the interaction of adsorbed H2 gas molecules with a gated indium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) NOTT-200 as a function of H2 and...

High surface area, functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have been shown to not only capture CO2, but to selectively do so over other gases like nitrogen. There are both...

Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be reliable tool to investigate the phonon structure of hydrides. E.g., it was shown that the vibrational structure of Ca(BH4)2 has a...

We ask for 7 days on IRIS to study the quasielastic scattering in ammonium borohydride (NH4BH4). Using enriched ND4 and BD4, we aim to separate out the difference rotational and...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on cubic hydrogen...

We request a total of 9 days on TOSCA:6 days to investigate the interactions exhibited by two Li containing metal-organic framework materials on loading with CO2. Doping of Li...

We request 5 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites and locations of adsorbed gas molecules (CO2, SO2, C2D2, C2D4, and D2) within a decorated Al(III)-carboxylate...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional networks consisting of metal cations/clusters linked through bridging organic ligands. Containing pores and cavities, such...

The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of...

Alloy catalysts are commonly employed for selective hydrogenation of organic molecules due to their enhanced selectivity than individual components but their structural and...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

We ask for 3 days on TOSCA to conduct Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy on potassium/sodium encapsulated in silica gel materials (K2Na-SG) and for in situ formation of...

We have synthesised a Co centred and an In centred MOF which represent the first examples of MOFs in which the channels are functionalized by both acidic carboxyl and basic...

Hydrogen binding to coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUMCs) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been extensively studied in our group using neutron powder diffraction...
