Structure of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Laponite Clay Hydrates
In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman spectra of centropolyindanes.
The family of centropolyindanes are created by edge-wise fusing of the cyclopentane ring of several indane units (D. Kuck, Chemical Reviews 2006, 106, 4885-4925).... -
Coordinated, Recoiling Molecules Tethered by Hydrogen Bonding: Ammonia in Zeo...
We request 5 days on IRIS to investigate the hindrance to molecular rotation of ammonia in a zeolite framework due to hydrogen bonding interactions. This is a tied proposal to... -
Hydrogen bonds as synthons in novel molecular magnets
Many strategies have emerged in recent years in the quest to design and synthesize functional materials which show cooperative properties. A particularly successful route to new... -
In-situ Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy Studies Of Magnesium Tetrahydroborate ...
The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel... -
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... -
Hydrogen bonding in amorphous formic acid
Formic Acid (FA) is a simple model for rotational isomerism, and it presents four different hydrogen bonding sites. In a recent study, we have elucidated the structure of FA in... -
Hydrogen diffusion in novel porous carbon materials for fuel cells
The performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC) is strongly dependent on the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the electron mobility, which in turn is strongly influenced... -
Hydrogen activation by non-metal catalysts. IINS studies of Frustrated Lewis ...
Hydrogenation has played a crucial role in energy related applications ranging from the production of ammonia from N2 to the conversion of coal to liquid fuels. Until recently,... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction by Mu Reactivity with Propane studied by RF ...
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
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... -
Vibrational Energy Differences of Hydrogen Bonded Crystals
Crystal energy differences can be calculated but they cannot be directly measured because the enthalpy difference that is measured includes a contribution from differences in... -
INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction by Mu Reactivity with Propane studied by RF ...
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Quantum heating effect in molecular hydrogen
The goal of this proposal for beam time on MARI (direct geometry) is to independently confirm (or refute) our observation using VESUVIO (indirect geometry) of a novel quantum... -
An Investigation of the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the Hydr...
The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the melting transition of bulk and confined water with an applied electric... -
Reaction pathway for coke-free methane steam reforming on a Ni/CeO2 catalyst:...
Methane steam reforming (MSR) plays a key role in the production of syngas and hydrogen from natural gas. The increasing interest in the use of hydrogen for fuel cell...
