Structural characterization of the interactions between Ionic liquids and MOFs
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered... -
Disorder and ion mobility in Li4BH4(NH2)3 and Li2BH4NH2
Hydrogen storage is a significant area of energy materials research and there have been extensive efforts into the discovery and development of lightweight materials. Although... -
A dynamical and structural study of confined Methane Hydrate by SE-QENS, SE-S...
Bulk samples of methane hydrate at cryogenic temperatures have been shown to contain methane in the hydrate cage that is nearly in a state of free rotation. There is an interest... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies of Halide-Modified Amide Hydrogen Storage Materials
The aim of this proposal is to use neutron powder diffraction to characterise a series of 9 new halide modified lithium amides and imides which are of interest as reversible... -
H+/Li+ exchange and Al/In substitutions in garnet-type Li ion conductors
In this work, we will examine the dopant site location, and Li distribution in cubic and In/Al doped La3Zr2Li7O12, which have been shown to display high Li ion conductivities... -
Neutron Total Scattering Studies on Disordered Hydrogen Storage Material Na2B...
We aim to use total scattering and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to determine the local structure of the disordered amide-borohydride, Na2BH4NH2. We wish to... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution...
