At an interface between electrolyte and electrode in lithium-ion secondary batteries, a thin layer, called as a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), plays a significant role for...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Constructing new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide and is a ¿hot topic¿ owing to their potential for gas storage, separation,...

Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an...

We have prepared the transition metal borohydride hydrazinates (ZBH) for the first time. Zn(BH4)2-2N2H4 exhibits pure hydrogen evolution below 200 °C as determined by...

Shale is an increasingly important source of natural gas and potential candidate for carbon dioxide sequestration. Understanding the gas adsorption behavior on shales is of key...

The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have recently surpassed 10% power conversion efficiency (PCE), a key milestone towards commercialisation. Achieving validated lifetimes beyond 10...

Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because of their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and...

CuFe1-xCrO2 has potential applications as an SOFC cathode material. It exhibits and interesting transformation on oxidation. This is a follow on from our recent HRPD experiment...

With the decreasing cost of energy generation by renewable sources, energy storage is becoming increasingly critical to energy security across the globe. Lithium iron phosphate...

In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural...

Our overall aim is to understand the origins of energy dissipation mechanisms in filled rubbers. These effects are responsible for much of the carbon footprint associated with...

Fe-Al alloys strengthened by coherent phases are designed for high-temperature (HT) applications in thermal power plants. Lattice misfit (LM) between phases plays an important...

Since 2009, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a topic of immense interest in the research community, while performances of PSCs are in a position to challenge the...

Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a new generation of solar technology which has shown huge promise with regards to performance, but still suffers from several flaws preventing...

Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels such as Eurofer 97 represent the most mature option for the fusion blanket structural material. Recently, powder metallurgy or...

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are able to interconvert thermal and electric energy. To understand the promising Mg3Sb2-type TE materials produced in our lab, neutron diffraction...
