The IPCC report 2007 underlines the particular importance of aerosol particles for the water cycle and the radiation balance, and thus for the global climate. In Cirrus clouds...

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric...

Pearlman¿s catalyst is commonly used in various hydrogenation, arylation and O-debenzyaltion reactions. The catalyst is unusual that it is active but not pyrophoric. It is...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable...

A key step in a fuel cell is the dissociation of hydrogen gas to provide protons and electrons by a catalyst. For low temperature fuel cells carbon black supported...

Our previous proposal strongly suggested that the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina do exhibit tunnelling. This application aims to provide additional evidence to...

This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first...

This proposal aims to exploit the high resolution of HRPD and OSIRIS to probe the structures of the solid solution Ba2CoO2Cu2(Te1-xSex)2. The compound Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 shows...

Organic stabilisers, such as thiols, thioethers, amines and polymers (i.e. polyvinylalcohol) have been used for the stabilisation of metal nanoparticles. The catalytic...

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...

The inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of commercial samples of industrially important zeolites ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratios: 25, 30, 80,and 280), Beta (Si/Al ratios: 25, 38, and 300)...

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...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

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...

TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth...

Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance...

Intermediate strength hydrogen bonds, H-bonds, are known to play a role in the reactions of surface bound species, especially on the widely used industrial substrate...

We seek to explore extreme confinement on the vibrational density of states of polyethylene oxide (PEO) over a wide energy-transfer range (10-3000 cm-1). These experiments are...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...
