Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
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... -
In situ studies of mixed-phase oxygen transport membranes
The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen... -
SANS experiments on phase separation in Fe-Cr based alloys
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation.... -
Investigation of the Li-intercalation mechanism for the perovskite Li0.18Sr0....
Our work on LSTN showed that it exhibits favourable electrochemical properties, i.e. rapid diffusion of lithium into the structure at low temperatures and the ability to... -
The structure and thermoelastic properties of jadeite, NaAlSi2O6, above room ...
Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6, is a rare, but geologically important clinopyroxene. In the upper part of the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle most pyroxenes are... -
