In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that as water content in the...

There is a huge interest in the properties of water under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and environment. This interest ranges from the water vapour jets that...

Porous liquids are a counter-intuitive new class of porous material consisting of a liquid with permanent, empty holes. They are unique in that they combine the fluidity of...

We intend to explore the intermediate q-range (0.1 to 50\AA-1) in nanogranular Fe35Ag65 and Fe15Ag85 thin films. These systems have been proven to have a crossover between a...

Green Lizard Technologies are undertaking performance trials with dimethylcarbonate as a blend component in diesel fuels to reduce carbon particulate emission. Here,...

We found in our previous experiments (RB numbers 810202 Determination of sugar hydration shell and water structure in different water-sugar mixtures''(glucose, fructose,...

The solution chemistry of Pt(II) and Pd(II) cations has attracted experimental and theoretical attention because of their relevance in catalytic processes and the...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are complexes of organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donors. They are tuneable, low volatility liquids that are environmentally benign....

We will use neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution to study Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in the hope of establishing this amide solvent's structure. Dimethylacetamide is a...

Composites materials that combine the flexibility and mechanical robustness offered by polymers with the functionality displayed by metal oxide nanoparticles offer new insight...

Graphene oxide (GO) is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include...

Recent work on deep eutectic solvents (DES) has demonstrated that these novel H-bonded liquids can be used to modify nanomaterial morphologies under mild conditions in...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration of salt. This is important as these materials...

The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable...

Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly...

New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We...

Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...

Understanding the energetics and structure of aromatic molecules (those containing benzene rings) is important to a large area of chemical science including protein and DNA...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered...

Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible using Empirical Potential Structure Refinement methods combined with neutron...
