Metallic materials are widely used in industry. It is now classical to develop numerical simulation for their manufacturing processes in finite transformation and this is...

There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap andsafe cathodes. Recently, silicate-based cathodes have been described,...

the correlation degree in 122 iron pnictides mainly depends on the electronoccupancy of each orbital and that by doping electrons the correlation decreases monotonically. This...

Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

Intercalation electrodes operating close to 1V vs. Li+/Li are highly desirable. They are safe and provide protection to plating Li if overcharged, while still giving a...

Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding...

The growing implementation of renewable resources has placed increased demand for cheap, safe and efficient means of storing the energy generated. Lithium and sodium ion...

Propene plays an important role in various petro-chemical applications, such as the production of polypropylene and acrylic acid, but is dependent on the fluctuating prices of...

Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...

A vast amount of work has been conducted on understanding metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in their powder form. However, for use in industrial processes, powders will need to be...

Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...

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)....

Magnesium alloys always exhibit a high directional anisotropy owing to their hexagonal crystal structure, which limits the modes available for plastic deformation and give rise...

Significant research has been given towards synthesis and characterisation of electrolyte materials with high proton conductivity for intermediate temperature range (200-600°C)...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There...

It is the aim of the current proposal to examine in detail the magnetic structure of LaCo0.75Mn0.25O3 at low temperature, which should provide insight into the nature of the...

The applicants seek 3 days of beam time on POLARIS to study hydrogen release systems comprising M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=Cl) coupled with LiH and MgH. Mg(NH3)6Cl2 is an important...

Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut...
