The proposing team has recently obtained important neutron scattering results on samples of different kind of ice containing molecular hydrogen (sII and sH hydrogen-filled...

In this proposal, we seek to use quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) to investigate the phase behaviour of molecular or di-hydrogen (H2) in cylindrical and slit-shaped pores...

We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out INS study of the hydrogenolysis of 4-methylphenol on Pt, Pd and Ru-loaded Nb2O5 catalysts for lignin conversion. This proposed study will...

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...

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic...

The wetting of solid surfaces by gases and liquids is both fundamentally and technologically important especially in the areas of energy storage and conversion, e.g. catalysis....

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in equimolar amounts. We have recently discovered the first bcc HEA-based hydride with reversible...

A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong...

The present experiment aims to elucidate the energetics and geometry of translational diffusive motions exhibited by molecular hydrogen bound to carbon nanohorns. Previous...

LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related...

This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...

We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate...

We will study H2 dynamics in the nanotubular clay imogolite whose structure has an external diameter of ~2.5 nm and an inner diameter of <1 nm. The tube length of synthetic...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

The physisorptive capability of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their surface areas and nanomorphologies. We have made electrospun graphite...

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

We request 4 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites and locations of adsorbed gas molecules (CO2,NO2 and D2) within a decorated Al(III)-carboxylate porous framework...

Combined with computational modeling, in situ inelastic neutron scattering (INS) will be employed to reveal the nature of the interactions between stored ammonia and the host...
