Probing the structure of calcium silicates over a wide range of length scales.
Sol-gel derived calcium silicates are of great importance due to their ability to bond to bone and stimulate new bone growth. Diffraction has revealed the atomic-scale changes... -
Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates present a significant problem to the petrochemical industry, with pipeline plugs imparting major financial and safety concerns. Gas hydrate crystallization is... -
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... -
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... -
The Structure and Solvation of Ammonia Borane in THF
Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used... -

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... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: solution struct...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous iron sulfates (AFS)
Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent... -
The structure of paraquat in solution and in clay gels
