Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used...

Differences in heavy metal nuclear momentum distributions (NMDs) in different metallic compounds due to chemical binding and effective temperature difference will most likely...

Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a...

Benzene is the parent compound of organic solids based on C-H...pi interactions that have been used in organic field effect transistors. Any change in the C-H...pi interactions...

The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule...

This proposal seeks to exploit contrast variation SANS to study a multi-component system, spanning a wide range of colloidal length scales. The multi-component system under...

Hydrogen storage materials with a low working temperature are strongly required for the application of the next generation on-board hydrogen storage system. Among several...

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are able to interconvert thermal and electric energy. To understand the promising Mg3Sb2-type TE materials produced in our lab, neutron diffraction...

We propose to map out magnetic and lattice excitations in compounds Mn(5-x)Fe(x)Si3.Varying the Fe content, the system shows a tunable magneto-caloric effect, both in the...

The life of modern power generating plant is limited by the high temperature performance of the materials from which it is constructed. The drive for longer operating lives, and...

Batteries have a variety of applications, including as storage of energy generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Whilst lithium-ion batteries dominate the...

Zeolites are porous aluminosilicate minerals widely used as adsorbents or catalysts in a myriad of commercial petrochemical and environmental processes including production of...

Barium hydride is a of interest due to its high hydride ion conductivity, which would make it suitable as an electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical devices and...

Clays are porous materials and planned to be used as barrier material in radioactive waste repositories. In this context understanding of water and solute diffusion on different...

Drawing from our proven track record of Neutron Compton scattering (NCS) work performed on VESUVIO spectrometer at ISIS, we propose to extend our research programme of the...

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...

Apatites are functional materials with important potential applications as solid electrolytes, and also as biomaterials, ceramics for nuclear waste immobilisation, and...

The proposal regards new low freezing transfer fluids materials for Solar Plants, which are currently a field of the highest interest. In general, mixtures commonly employed as...

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...

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...
