In high-voltage electronics, heat dissipation is a major challenge. Ideally the materials in these devices will have a high thermal conductivity; a property determined by...

Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is...

Methylammonium lead iodide has recently been recognised as an excellent photovoltaic material, with energy conversion efficient of up to 15% with the prospect of gaining higher...

ZSM-5 zeolites are used as additives in Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units to increase the yield of LPG alkenes by conversion of gasoline-range hydrocarbons, forming a key...

We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in...

LiBH4, is an ionic solid, consisting of Li+ and BH4- ions. It undergoes a structural phase transition at 383K. Within the HT phase, the BH4-units undergo rapid re-orientations,...

The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of trehalose/glycerol mixtures and lysozyme in presence of trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration....

In order to tackle emissions targets for CO2, there is increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels. Biodiesel is one such renewable transportation fuel that...

Hydride ion conductors are the new frontier materials in the research field of solid-state ionics. Indeed, hydride ion conduction is particularly attractive for electrochemical...

This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a...

The ammoniates of simple salts, such as MgX2 (X=Cl, Br, I), known as ammines, have attracted much interest recently as they offer potential as both hydrogen and ammonia storage...

This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated...

Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,...

The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among...

Polymer nanocomposites are formed by embedding polymer grafted nanoparticles in homopolymer host matrix. Polymers form glasses when cooled through their glass transition...

RBaCo4O7 (R = rare earth ion or Y) compositions belong to class of strongly frustrated antiferromagnets. Their crystal structure is build up of alternating Kagome and triangular...

The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the...

Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical precursor to nylon-6. On an industrial scale an aggressive liquid-acid catalyst is used to transform C6-oxime to CL. Due to...

The concept of diffusion of light gases through polymers is a widely used in a variety of commercially available materials - food packaging materials, solar cell encapsulants,...

The competitive diffusion of components of the zeolite catalysed methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) process will be investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The...
