In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
Towards the development of lithium manganese nitride as novel two stage regen...
In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers... -
Oxygen mobility in the defect perovskite Sr3SbO5.5
We propose to use Polaris to record powder neutron diffraction data for the oxygen deficient double perovskite Sr3SbO5.5 as a function of temperature to establish the... -
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... -
QENS Investigation of Proton Conduction Mechanism in Spark-Plasma-Sintered Pr...
Fuel cells exhibit high-energy efficiency and the only release is clean water when used with hydrogen. Proton ceramic fuel cells (PCFC) are from special interest because proton... -
Investigation of the residual strain evolution upon in situ annealing of the ...
The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive... -
In-situ studies of amides with ammonia
The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides. -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Spin orientation in natural nanoscale intergrowths and the origin of giant ex...
The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction study of the synthesis of Half-Heusler the...
XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the...
