For energy storage applications, high energy density is an important material characteristic when searching for new types of suitable materials. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is an...

Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the...

ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to...

Thermoelectric materials offer opportunities for the recovery of waste heat into useful electrical energy. As part of a nine member consortium, which included 3 SMEs and 2 large...

We have recently developed a new class of single-ion conducting Thermotropic Ionic Liquid Crystalline Polymers, TILCPs, for application as lithium battery electrolytes. Within...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron...

The arrangement of atoms in a solid, its crystal structure, is of key importance for its chemical and physical properties. This includes type of atoms are present, their...

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched...

We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length...

The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides.

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are...

The proposal regards new low freezing transfer fluids materials for Solar Plants, which are currently a field of the highest interest. In general, mixtures commonly employed as...

Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary...

There are growing demands to reduce the global CO2 footprint and to adopt alternative, sustainable fuels. Ammonia (NH3) is one such alternative, producing only water and...

Oxide ion conductors are researched as potential electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Yttria-stabilized zirconia is currently the most commonly used electrolyte in...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...

Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of a device is related to the characteristics of the materials of...

Understanding the structure and stability of mineral phases which contain harmful elements, such as U and As, is vital to determine the likelihood of toxic element release into...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....
