The proposed work continues our investigations of the structure, aggregation, self-assembly and ion pairing of ionic liquids in the neat state, at interfaces, and in solutions....

With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONP–water interfaces are of great importance for biomedical...

Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with...

Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform...

This proposal aims to study the interactions within a prototypical ionic liquid / co-solvent system. Such systems are currently under investigation as potential solvating media...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

Aqueous biphasic systems have been recently proposed for metal separation, using an acidic-ionic liquid based solution. Metals are dissolved in ternary mixture and migrate...

Shale is an increasingly important source of natural gas and potential candidate for carbon dioxide sequestration. Understanding the gas adsorption behavior on shales is of key...

This proposal will use Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) spectroscopy at TOSCA to establish the vibrational frequencies in nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)...

Cononsolvency is a rare phenomenon that the solubility of a polymer decreases or even vanishes in the mixture of good solvents [Macromolecules 1991, 24, 948]. Although PDEA is...

Liquid phase exfoliation of graphite is a scalable method for the production of graphene with an inbuilt medium for the manipulation of the graphene into applications. Much like...

Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation...

The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels in an underground repository requires the fundamental chemistry to be well understood so predictions of solubility behaviour over 100,000...

We request a total of 9 days on TOSCA:6 days to investigate the interactions exhibited by two Li containing metal-organic framework materials on loading with CO2. Doping of Li...

The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL)....

Nano-materials are of interest in the field of energy conversion and storage due to properties not seen for the bulk. However, due to their non-periodic nature, the atomic...

Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein...
