How does a catalyst promoter affect the degree of hydrogen retention of iron-...
We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how... -
INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -
Effect of Variation in the Anion on the Bulk Nanostructure of Protic Ionic Li...
In a recently published note we presented the first experimental evidence (obtained using the LoQ instrument at ISIS) for nanoscale segregation of short (< C4) alkyl chain... -
Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid
We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable... -
Unraveling the structural evolution and reactivity of white rust, a key inter...
White rust (WR) is a highly reactive material that acts as a precursor in many chemical processes. It is produced during iron corrosion and has been implicated as a key reactive... -
Cation-Exchanged Layered Polar Perovskite Oxides (Magnetic)
Multiferroic materials - those which exhibit spontaneous and switchable electrical and magnetic polarizations - have a wide range of applications. However preparing new... -
Probing the nature of the interactions at the surface of fuel cell catalysts ...
The objective of this proposal is to identify the nature of species formed on the surface of the catalyst material when they are exposed to typical fuel cell feed stocks and... -
Neutron scattering study on the phonon spectra of two-dimensional metal chalc...
Two dimensional (2D) metal chalcogenides are constituted by covalently/ionically bonded atomic layers that are held together via interlayer van der Waals (vdW) forces, and... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
Solvation and structure of iron oxide in a choline chloride/oxalic acid deep ...
We aim to investigate the solvation of iron oxide and zinc oxide in an environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent system in order to understand how to engineer these new... -
Probing the magnetic and structural correlations in Co1-xNixTeO4: (x=0, 0.5 &...
Transition metals (TMs) and their complexes are current examples of such materials which show new functionality, improved performances and greater versatility and have become... -

Quantification of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers relevant to the induction of i...
Recent experiences applying INS to examine a series of nickel-based methane reforming catalysts have enabled a generic experimental methodology to be developed. In collaboration... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction study of the synthesis of Half-Heusler the...
XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies of Iron Silicate Glasses with Alkali Ion Inclusions
The objective of this study is to examine the local structure of a set of Iron Silicate glasses containing a single alkali metal in order to understand the correlation of... -
The hydration of the DOPE lipid headgroup
Understanding how water hydrates cellular membranes is an important aspect of understanding how water-soluble compounds - such as drugs - can cross into a cell from the blood... -
The structure of ceramides in a model membrane environment
This proposal aims to investigate the structure of ceramide, an important component of cellular membranes in a mimic membrane environment. After assessment of this molecule in... -
Low temperature high magnetic field Neutron diffraction studies of re-entrant...
Our aim is to investigate the chemical and magnetic structure of the charge ordered (CO) AFM and charge disordered FM phases of La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 down to 2 K and study the... -
Glycerol Carbonate
Glycerol carbonate has potential to become one of the most important sustainable chemical intermediates of the future. It has imprtant uses as a solvent, as a chemical, and as a... -
The application of INS to examine high specification Fe Fischer-Tropsch catal...
Over the last 4-5 years the research team have been developing INS methodology that can be applied to investigate Fe Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts. The first stage of that...
