There is an urgent need for to provide energy storage solutions in order for the world to switch form it's reliance on fossil fuels to renewable energy. This will allow us to... -
Insight into the adsorbed water layer of hydration shells around iron oxide n...
With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONPwater interfaces are of great importance for biomedical... -
A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -

Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
The hydration structure in potassium borate solutions
Borate solution is a much peculiar substance, in which not only hydrated cation but also varied borate speciation such as [B3O3(OH)4], [B4O5(OH)42], [B(OH)4] and [B(OH)3] are... -
Study of Association of Novel Zwitterionic Materials in Aqeous Solution for E...
New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid - II
There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural... -
Soft-templating of hard carbons to produce ordered and disordered Hard carbons.
Carbonized biowaste presents a promising route to producing energy materials in a carbonnegative way, given that the precursor material (i.e. plant material) relies on the... -
Structural organization of an acqeous biphasic system for the use of metal re...
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... -
Why is Choline Arginate the Best Performing Bio-IL for Biomass Pretreatment?
The ionic liquid choline arginate [Ch][Arg] is more effective for coal pretreatment than other choline based amino acid ILs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.... -
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Understanding liquid structure for benchmarking of...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Effects of Chiral Components on the Structure of Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their... -
Evolution of interlayer water to form gel-like layers in graphene oxide
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... -
Solution structures of aqua complexes of uranium in different oxidation states
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... -
Molecular interactions of cimetidine and water in solution
Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a... -
Frustrated Lewis pairs: encounter complexes in an ionic liquid
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are combinations of bulky Lewis acids and bases, which cannot form acid-base complexes due to steric hindrance. They are capable of metal-free H2... -
Water structure in C-A-S-H by neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution:...
The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 57% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class...
