Solvent-solute interations in PET recycling systems
Glycolysis of polyethylterephthalate (PET) catalysed by ionic liquid solvents could offer a metal-free low cost approach to chemical recycling of waste PET. This work will... -
Study of nano-electrode materials for Li-ion batteries combining small-angle ...
Nano-materials are of interest in the field of energy conversion and storage due to properties not seen for the bulk. However, due to their non-periodic nature, the atomic... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
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... -
Synthetic Ion Channels Formed By Self-Assembly of Crown Ethers
Ion channels are present in cell membranes and permit the transport of ions across from the cell interior to the cell exterior (or vice versa), and hence allow chemical and... -
Antiplasticizing effect of water in amorphous prilocaine
In glassforming organic materials, the addition of water usually has a direct plasticizing effect, visible in a lowering of the glass-transition temperature Tg upon hydration of... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)-pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
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... -
Glycine association under extreme environmental conditions
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... -
In situ investigation of templated polymerisation
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a particularly interesting class of three dimensional crystalline networks formed by the self-assembly of metal ions with organic ligands.... -
Pre-aggregation of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid in solution
The pharmaceutical intermediate 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (MHBA) is reported to crystallise in two polymorphs. The stable one is obtained by evaporation from methanol solution,... -
Solvation of sodium by glyme-based electrolytes for sodium intercalation into...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium ion in glyme electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Glyme electrolyte are linear ethers of the structure... -
Water soluble ruthenium compounds for homogeneous catalysis processes: the ro...
The combination of NMR, DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and total neutron scattering aided by EPSR simulations provide a new method for understand the factors... -
Microscopic structure of nitric oxide (NO): A comparison between experiments ...
The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine (1998) was awarded for the finding that nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Its... -

Resolving the enigma of self-assembled meso-structures in an H-bonding rich m...
In a recent successful LOQ experiment (RB 1810629), we have unexpectedly observed possible multilayer stacking of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; ~2wt%) bilayers in glycerol... -
Single crystal study of spin gap formation in CeT2Al10 (T=Ru and Os)
Our recent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study using MARI clearly reveals the presence of a sharp inelastic excitation near 8 meV and 11 meV in CeT2Al10 (T=Ru and Os)... -
Intermediate q-range study of Fe35Ag65 and Fe15Ag85 thin films
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...
