Can INS measurements access hydrocarbonaceous overlayers on heterogeneous hyd...
This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited... -
Determination of the structure of methoxy on eta-alumina
We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a... -
Host-guest interactions in flexible SMOFs
In the area of metal-organic porous materials, supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) constitute a blooming alternative. Their examples are still scarce when compared... -
The use of INS to characterise prototype methane reforming catalysts over a r...
Previous work by the experimental team has successfully examined methane reforming catalysts using CO2 as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the progression to using steam as the... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show... -
Detection of Spin-Polarized Conduction Electrons in Si by MuSR
One of the challenges of developing Silicon-based spintronics technology is developing non-destructive methods for characterizing spin-polarized conduction electrons. Si is... -
QENS Study of Proton Diffusion in Metal-Organic Framework Materials
The development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as complex proton conductor is receiving increasing attention worldwide. We aim to develop new solid proton... -
The adsorption of methyl proprionate on silica catalysts.
Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric... -
The application of INS to investigate the active phase of methane steam refor...
A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions.... -
Investigating the effect of pore structure upon interactions of hydrogen with...
Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the... -
Contrast match on activated carbon: density and structure determination
At present there is a growing interest to porous carbon due to its large field of application. Porous activated carbons with their large surface area and microporosity are one... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and... -
Understanding absorption of the energetic compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-on...
Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led... -
The Location of Guests in Metal-Organic Frameworks Using IINS
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. This includes the... -
