We propose to study a model phyllosilicate catalyst that, upon brief thermal treatment, releases OH groups from its surface to generate pockets of coordinatively unsaturated...

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial...

The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

We have investigated the magnetic structure and crystal field excitations (CEF) of CeT2Al10 (T=Os and Ru). The observed magnetic moment along the c-axis does not agree with that...

The Indonesian government has pledged to ensure that all gas stations in Indonesia switch from diesel fuel to a biofuel blend produced from palm oil by 2025, as part of its...

As part of an on-going industrial/academic collaboration in to the application of neutron spectroscopy to probe commercially relevant zeolites, this proposal seeks to use the...

Efficient synthesis of light olefins from renewable resources remains a major challenge. We request 6 days on MAPS to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a...

In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology UK), the applicants have previously used INS measurements performed on the MAPS spectrometer to characterize a series...

The prospect of producing methanol via the hydrogenation of CO2 over copper based catalysts is an exciting area of research that has been invigorated by the realization that...

Fossil fuels are the main contributor to global energy consumption, which has increased the amount of atmospheric CO2, increasing the severity of climate change and health...

Vinyl acetate is used on the million tonnes per year scale for the production of various grades of polyvinyl acetate, a component in paper, adhesive and textile applications....

Atmospheric levels of CO2 are increasing at uncontrolled levels and as such methods of CO2 utilisation are being researched. A key reaction for this purpose is the coupling of...

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study adsorbed species on catalysts for more than 30 years. All of this work has one feature in common: they are all ¿snapshots¿ of...

As part of an on-going industrial/academic collaboration in to the application of neutron spectroscopy to probe commercially relevant zeolites, this proposal seeks to use the...

This proposal will measure vibrational spectra from a series of catalyst samples produced from a pilot plant reactor at Tianjin University China converting dimethylether to...

In the archetypal hydrogen–oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that...

Previous studies have pointed to a heavy-electron state in CePtSi with a strongly enhanced electronic specific heat. We have explored the heat capacity, susceptibility and...

The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial...
