In-situ study of hydrogen absorption and desorption in metal-hydride hydrogen...
In order to develop our understanding of hydrogen coordination as a function of pressure within two titanium-chromium-vanadium-molybdenum alloys, Ti10Cr10V75Mo5 and... -
Interfacial adsorption of keratin as characterised by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface.... -
The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: Reflectivity
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. We will investigate the... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies of hydrogen desorption and reversibility ...
We ask for 4 days beam time on GEM to study the dehydrogenation and subsequent rehydrogenation of Mg(11BD4)2. Mg(BH4)2 is currently one of the most promising lightweight... -
In-situ study of hydrogen absorption and desorption in metal-hydride hydrogen...
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... -
In situ neutron powder diffraction study of carbon dioxide adsorption on an a...
The selective adsorption of gases is essential to many technologies in the industrial, energy, semiconductor, food and medical sectors. The total adsorbent market is worth about... -
INS studies of molecular hydrogen in K-doped electrospun graphite nanofibres
The physisorptive capacity of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their internal surface areas and pore dimensions. We have made electrospun... -
INS studies of copper sulphate pentahydrate - two birds with one stone.
Copper sulphate pentahydrate is one of the iconic substances of chemistry. The characteristic dark blue colour is the result of the water present: four molecules are coordinated... -
Diffraction of potassium-intercalated graphitic nanofibres with hydrogen
Nanostructured carbons are promising precursors for a high-capacity reversible hydrogen storage material with fast kinetics, but the interaction of H2 with pure graphite is too...
