This proposal will use Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) spectroscopy at TOSCA to establish the vibrational frequencies in nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)...

Back up experiment to fill gap in the schedule if beamtime is available

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as Zn(C3H3N2) (ZIF-4) and Cu2(BBCDC) (DUT-49) show intriguing structural phase transitions when triggered by external stimuli such...

Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the...

During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form...

The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the high selectivity of a special type of MOF material (ZIF-7) confined in the cavities of nano porous activated carbons....

The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental...

We have recently characterised a surface wetting transition for a low molecular weight oligomer in a high molecular weight rubbery polymer. Although weak surface segregation of...

The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation. We...

Meibomian lipids spread on the surface of tears to enable formation of a stable film. Our data show that meibum forms duplex films that have physical properties not emulated by...

To date many papers have been published on the effects of impurities on the physical properties of ionic liquids (near room-temperature molten salts), however, only few studies...

There are a number of room temperature multiferroics based on BiFeO3. The BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 (BFPT) system shows ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature...

The proposal aims at revisiting the properties of disordered, nano-sized and structurally dynamic delta-MgCl2 particles as fundamental components of Ziegler-Natta (ZN) catalysts...

Cells are complex systems where small fragments play an interdependent role. The functionality of these systems can be distinct at different length and timescales, depending on...

Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest due to their growing success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs)....

Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

The development of new porous MOFs is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, separation, and purification. We seek to develop a...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical and precursor to nylon-6. Industrially, a harsh, liquid acid catalyst transforms C6-oxime to CL but due to the risk and inefficiency of...
