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...

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

In order to estimate a reliable reaction area (a_r) between cathode and liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, we wish to propose a muSR experiment on a charged-state cathode...

In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of...

We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the...

We request 3 days Direct Access on TOSCA to complete the INS measurements of our previous experiment 1610254. We want to characterise the vibrational signatures of a new...

When a nucleus captures a low energy neutron it emits a gamma ray as it recoils. The recoil energy is often sufficient to break a covalent bond to the atom concerned. The effect...

In a one-pot synthesis, we are able to produce spherical gold nanoparticles capped with antibiotics, without the use of other chemicals by using the antibiotic as the reducing...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

Hydrogen Peroxide is one of the cleanest, most versatile strategic base chemicals available. It is used at the large scale as oxidising agent in the chemical industry, as a...

The proposing team has recently obtained important neutron scattering results on samples containing molecular hydrogen (sII and sH hydrogen-filled clathrate hydrates), measured...

Inelastic neutron scattering has been used to study adsorbed species on catalysts for more than 30 years. All of this work has one feature in common: they are all ¿snapshots¿ of...

Mixed films of palmitic acid (PA) and galactocerebrosides (GCB) –a proxy for marine aerosol– exhibit attractive interactions due to H-bonding of galactose and carbonyl head...

Metal fluoride materials, through the use nanocomposites, recently appear as potential candidates as next generation high energy density positive electrodes for Li-ion...

In collaboration with an industrial partner, the PI is seeking to use INS to help characterise a series of catalysts active for the important Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process. As...

Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical...

We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions...

Lignin valorization is receiving increasing attention. We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of two key chemical processes in lignin...
