Structure and stoichiometry in new nitride catalysts; anion mobility, chemica...
Our studies focus on the use of Co3Mo3N (331) as a catalyst in ammonia synthesis. During synthesis, N is lost and the compound is transformed to the new nitride Co6Mo6N (661); a... -
Decomposition studies of Li(1-x)NaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3 and Li3Na(ND2)4
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... -
Microscopic structure of acetic acid in water and methanol
Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded... -
Evolving microemulsions - tuning selectivity in oxidation reactions
We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising... -
The use of INS to investigate reactions relevant to Fischer-Tropsch catalysis
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... -
Copy of: Abiogenic origin of methane: a neutron diffraction study
It has recently be demonstrated, through diamond-anvil cell experiments, that it may be possible for methane to be formed within the inner Earth through transformation reactions... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
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... -
Transition metal carbides via novel, ultrafast microwave synthesis; Reaction ...
We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions... -
Kinetics of Muoniated Radicals Studied With Radio Frequency Muon Spin Resonance
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in...
