fac-tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III)
fac-tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III) (tris-(2-phenylpyridine) iridium, [Ir(ppy)3]), is a heavy metal complex that is the most frequently used precursor molecule for the... -
Hydrogen containing intermediates during catalytic CO2 reduction on sulfides
We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different... -
Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a high surface area cobalt catalyst: An IN...
In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of... -
Higher resolution inspection of the hydrocarbon pool connected with the metha...
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via... -
High temperature superstructures in thermoelectric oxides
Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,... -
An exploration of the vibrational properties of energetic materials using Ine...
We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities... -
Investigation of the Li-H bond nature and stages of chemisorption in Li6C60
Alkali intercalated fullerides represent a competitive alternative to complex metal hydrides for static and on-board hydrogen storage applications, thanks to their good...
