Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...

Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental...

Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped...

The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation....

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts....

Ni-based secondary batteries are currently used in many applications, however, the structural changes at the electrodes are not fully characterized and neutron diffraction is a...

NaAlH4 has been a model system for metal hydride hydrogen storage materials since the reaction was identified to be reversible. The decomposition pathway has been described by a...

Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the...

Atmospheric climate change is strongly influenced by clouds and the oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity of the planet. Clouds...

Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices...

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...

XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the...

With appropriate storage materials, ammonia has great potential as a fuel. We propose to use a novel piece of equipment, which combines microwave and neutron diffraction...

Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid...

Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively...

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...

Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic...

It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High...
