Vacancy Distribution in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We propose to measure the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra to study the diffusion dynamics in beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of QENS... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
