Structure and exact stoichiometry of microcrystalline, molecular {CexZr6-xO4(OH)4} clusters with different Ce/Zr ratios will be determined employing Ce and Zr K-edge EXAFS. In...

Boron carbide is a popular superhard ceramic, with application ranging from abrasives to nuclear power plants. However, it famously, and anomalously, loses its high mechanical...

This proposal aims at discovering new electrocatalyst materials by probing in situ chemical reactions in inorganic liquids, ie. molten salts. These reactions will be driven by...

We aim to shed light on the mechanism of the out-of-the-equilibrium adsorption of nanoparticles at liquid interfaces. By employing aqueous dispersions consisting of negatively...

We propose here to perform dynamic compression experiments on Sn probed by time-resolved XRD at the ESRF, exploiting the extraordinary capabilities of the beamline ID09, to...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received attention due to their high-power conversion efficiency close to silicon solar cells (25.7 vs 26.1%), low cost of preparation, and...

By investigating the L3 edge of Pd the objectives of this study are: (1) to uncover the interaction of CH4 and H2O with Pd species under reaction conditions, and (2) reveal the...

Although calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has been the most studied mineral in geochemistry, its nucleation pathway has never been structurally resolved directly in an aqueous...

We propose to re-investigate the low temperature structure of the CaCoSi2O6 pyroxene and a possible structural response to the magnetic transition at 40 K. Our main study aims...

Cathode engineering the particle morphology has emerged as a promising route for increasing capacity retention in lithium batteries, with the recent million-mile single...

SAXS has been used to gain deeper insight into protein-protein (PP) distances and interactions by the structure factor S(q). But there is a lack of knowledge about highly...

We propose to perform SXDM on free-standing PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices as a function of applied temperature and field. In these systems, complex hierarchical...

In this proposal we are planning to study van der Waals heterostructures consisting of combinations of different 2D polymers and graphene. Initial results of structures...

The Iberian cryoEM BAG is a large consortium (> 30 groups) composed of Portuguese and Spanish groups working in biologically relevant problems including disease related...

Aircraft transmission systems carters are usually made with precipitation-strengthened aluminium alloys. These pieces are subjected to long-term (>1000h) in-service ageing at...

Raising environmental concerns constitutes a driving force towards the development of sustainable technologies to produce chemicals. The electroreduction of CO (CORR) to fuels...

A novel family of molecular qubits based on Copper(II) molecules forming an extended 2D structure on graphene will be investigated here at the level of a monolayer deposit in...

A liquid-liquid transition (LLT) is a first-order transition separating two liquid phases of the same single-component substance with different densities. Despite the...

The primary efficiency-limiting factor in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is the inefficient catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction. Advanced octahedra...

Near equiatomic composition, FeRh bulk alloys exhibit a CsCl-type (B2) chemically ordered phase related to a metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) to a...
