<p>The direct conversion of methane-to-methanol remains a critical challenge in methane valorization. In this study, we unveil the crucial role of...

In the pursuit of selective conversion of methane directly to methanol in the liquid phase, a common challenge is the concurrent formation of undesirable liquid oxygenates or...

Supercritical CO2 is an interesting medium for supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic molecules, due to the low temperatures and pressures needed to the process. Methanol is...

Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. This includes the...

The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and...

This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first...

Our previous proposal strongly suggested that the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina do exhibit tunnelling. This application aims to provide additional evidence to...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is made by the Beckmann rearrangement...

We request 3 days on SANDALS to study the interactions of the neurotransmitter dopamine hydrochloride in a 1:19 methanol:water mixture and also in an aqueous 3M NaCl solution....

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that...

LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution....

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...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is conventionally made by the...

In collaboration with a major provider of Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalytic technology, the research team have recently demonstrated how INS can be used to probe iron...

Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded...

6 days on Nimrod are requested to collect neutron total scattering data of 1M, 2M and 3M solutions of a α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, glutaric acid, and 2-methylimidazole...

Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed...

Zeolites and zeotype materials are well established in the field of catalytic science. Particularly notable is their use for shape selective, acid-catalyzed conversions of...

We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a...
