We found evidence of solid para-hydrogen absorbed in Mg(BH_{4} ){2} up to temperatures of 195 K. Para hydrogen was dosed in Mg(BH{4} )_{2} at 50 K. A series of dosings were...

The energy costs associated with large-scale industrial separation of light hydrocarbons by cryogenic distillation could potentially be lowered through development of selective...

Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. This includes the...

Organic stabilisers, such as thiols, thioethers, amines and polymers (i.e. polyvinylalcohol) have been used for the stabilisation of metal nanoparticles. The catalytic...

Hydrogenation has played a crucial role in energy related applications ranging from the production of ammonia from N2 to the conversion of coal to liquid fuels. Until recently,...

Formic Acid (FA) is a simple model for rotational isomerism, and it presents four different hydrogen bonding sites. In a recent study, we have elucidated the structure of FA in...

Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...

Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)...

The keris is the distinctive weapon of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is found in a variety of forms but, typically, it is an elongated dagger or short sword of slender proportions...

The interaction of water with biomolecules is of significant interest. To analyse the spectra, we are employing 2D correlation analysis. This has been used extensively with...

Our recent theoretical and experimental characterisations of novel Pd N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts showed a clear relation between low-energy normal mode energies and...

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 request five days on TOSCA to study the partial phonon density of states of ammonia absorbed within two zeolitic materials. This work is a continuation of our previous INS...

In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable...

The present proposal is part of a project to formulate a quantitative synergy between experiment and theory, complimenting the results the applicants have already established in...

Despite the large research effort that has been made, the microscopic processes of hydrogen chemisorption on graphite is not well understood. By ball milling graphite for a...

Recent work on self assembling monolayers with diisocyano linkages have shown their great potential for application to photovoltaics. The next step is to determine the...

Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...
