We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....

For energy storage applications, high energy density is an important material characteristic when searching for new types of suitable materials. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is an...

Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

Carbon nitrides are emerging as an important class of materials with a variety of technical applications The focus of this study are polytriazine imide (PTI) materials, which...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is conventionally made by the...

We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to...

Recently, several perovskite-like ceramic-oxide solid solutions featuring pseudocubic symmetry have been reported to exhibit technologically promising dielectric and...

Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution...

We wish to probe the suggested existence of a high-temperature cubic perovskite phase in the multiferroic material BiFe0.7Mn0.3O3. The parent phase of this material, BiFeO3, was...

We request time on VESUVIO to study the properties of FLiBe using mass-resolved neutron spectroscopy (MANSE). FLiBe is a mixture of BeF2 and LiF and its physical properties in...

We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that...

The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere...

The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins...

Hydrogen selective membranes based on palladium are very important for technological processes such as isotopic separation and gas purification. As a matter of fact, both...

The future of aviation relies on the improvement of the efficiency of the jet-turbine engines, which is in turn reliant on the properties of the materials (specifically the...

Cooling down a liquid at ambient pressure all except Helium attain a solid state. If a crystalline state is reached a dramatic change in long range order occurs manifesting the...

Thermoelectric materials offer opportunities for the recovery of waste heat into useful electrical energy. As part of a nine member consortium, which included 3 SMEs and 2 large...

Lithium iron phosphate is a commonly used cathode material in Li-ion batteries. The material exhibits a two phase system on lithiation and delithiation with narrow solid...

We have recently developed a new class of single-ion conducting Thermotropic Ionic Liquid Crystalline Polymers, TILCPs, for application as lithium battery electrolytes. Within...
