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...

Graphite bricks are both the moderator and structural components at the heart of the Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) cores. Internal stress arises from the moderation role of...

Hybrid perovskites, composed of an organic cation, inside a post transition metal halide framework, have emerged since 2009 as simple, low cost solar cell materials, with power...

Sodium layered oxides as cathode for Na-ion battery could exceed the energy density offered by Li-ion cathode thanks to two main advantages: (i) the activation of Fe3+/Fe4+ in...

This proposal is concerned with understanding the properties of materials used in important applications in catalysis and energy, such as in molecular transformations of exhaust...

Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials...

Lithium-ion batteries are of great interest for automotive applications but are expensive. Sodium is much more abundant and hence cheaper so for e.g. storing energy from...

NaxFe1/2Mn1/2O2 has been identified as a potential cathode material for Na-ion batteries since it has comparable electrochemical performance to commercially available Li-ion...

This proposal is to probe the gel structure with High Pressure SANS (HP-SANS) using an in-line pressure cell. The ability to control the properties of supercritical CO2,...

In this application we request 2 days of rapid access time on SANDALS or NIMROD to demonstrate the existence of amorphous metal-amine solutions, the Ogg glasses.Results from...

We propose to perform QENS experiments on the OSIRIS spectrometer to study hydrogen diffusion in a carbon aerogel which has been synthesized at the University of Budapest and...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

Increasing interest in biofuels has led to a desire to understand the phase characteristics of the compounds present in these fuels and how the dynamics of the fluid might be...

A largely under-explored, yet critical area of clathrate hydrate research is hydrate metastability and the formation of intermediate structural phases. Our recent computer...

We request time on VESUVIO to study the properties of FLiBe using mass-resolved neutron spectroscopy (MANSE). FLiBe is a mixture of BeF2 and LiF and its physical properties in...

An all solid state lithium ion battery (SSLIB) has an advantage in electrical capacity compared to the popular lithium ion battery (LIB) using a liquid electrolyte. However, a...

Ever more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to strive for light weight solutions in automotive body and chassis applications, without...

Polymer/fullerene blends represent the most common form of organic solar cell. This proposal forms part of a wider effort in which our motivation is to complement solar cell...

Solid-state devices based on thermoelectric materials can directly convert heat into electricity and may be utilized to make use of waste heat, for example from industrial...
