Muons for Energy Nanonics
In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structured materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material... -
Lithium ion distribution and the role of manganese in lithium manganese phosp...
Lithium manganese phosphate glass electrodes for potential use in novel lithium ion conducting batteries with an all solid construction are being investigated. The present... -
Exploring Divalent Ion Mass Transport in Polar Solids with μSR
Batteries are ubiquitous in everday applications but making them cheaper, safer, and able to store more energy could widen their use still further. Many rechargeable batteries... -
Depth profiling high efficiency non-fullerene acceptor polymer solar cell blends
We would like to evaluate the vertical depth concentration profile for a blend of two materials that make a relatively high efficiency polymer solar cell device. Measurements of... -
Correlating polymer:fullerene crystallinity and structure with electronic pro...
We aim to correlate the morphology of a poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT): phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blend measured via XRD and SANS with the electronic properties... -
In situ crystalline CTE measurements of nuclear graphite as a function of loa...
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... -
INS Study of Molybdenum Clay Hydrodeoxygenation Catalyst: Effect of Promoter ...
The Indonesian government has pledged to ensure that all gas stations in Indonesia switch from diesel fuel to a biofuel blend produced from palm oil by 2025, as part of its... -
Order and disorder in sodium amide
Sodium amide has recently attracted interest as a catalyst for the decomposition of ammonia as a means of producing hydrogen. As such, its properties are of increasing relevance... -
Exceptionally High Gas Adsorption in a Series of Metal-Organic Frameworks: An...
Porous functional metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great potential for high capacity gas storage and separation. We seek to develop new materials for carbon capture... -
Structures of new n-type thermoelectric oxides
Thermoelectric materials (TEs), which produce a voltage in response to an applied temperature gradient, are set to play an increasingly important role in the development of new... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
How do demulsifiers work? A SANS study of model oil-water interfaces.
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Porosity Analysis in Suspension Thermal Sprayed YSZ Coatings using Spin-Echo ...
Suspension thermal spraying (STS) techniques enable the use of sub-micron powder particles as feedstock, as opposed to the traditional use of dry powders with micrometric size,... -
SANS study of the reformation of an engine oil gel after shear
We would like to observe the change in neutron scattering observed after applying shear stress to gel samples. Complete gelation of samples of oil containing an engine oil... -
SANS studies of superalloys for ultrasupercritical applications
The aim of the proposal is to perform quantitative measurements of Ni3AlTi (gamma prime) precipitates in industrially relevant Ni-based superalloys using small angle neutron... -
Oxygen ion diffusion in oxides
In order to detect oxygen diffusion in electrolyte materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, we here want to propose a muSR experiment on three oxide electrolytes exhibitng good... -
Inelastic scattering from zinc oxide by neutron Laue diffraction

Investigation of shake-down effects on residual stress redistribution in ship...
The fact that residual stresses are redistributed or relaxed during operations shows the importance of understanding residual stress after a particular period. Elastic shakedown... -
Examining the structural effects of non-stoichiometry in lithium amide-imide
The solid solution between lithium amide and lithium imide plays important roles in both ammonia decomposition catalysis and solid state hydrogen storage. In order to understand... -
Observation of hydrogen diffusion in hydrogen storage materials with muSR
This is a continuation proposal describing an "in situ" muSR experiment on hydrogen storage materials. For the two previous beam-time allocated for RB1510262 and RB1520259, we...
