Investigating proton motion in battery and hydrogen storage materials
Our research team have an ongoing project investigating ion diffusion processes in solid electrolyte and hydrogen storage materials. In terms of the former, we have been... -
Local structure and dynamics in metal-imidazolate frameworks
This proposal aims to study local structure and dynamics in two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): namely, zinc imidazolate and cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (IM) is a small, flat... -
QENS studies of the ammines of magnesium chloride
The ammoniates of simple salts, such as MgX2 (X=Cl, Br, I), known as ammines, have attracted much interest recently as they offer potential as both hydrogen and ammonia storage... -
Probing the phase transformation in Ca(BH4)2 by INS
A future hydrogen economy requires dense, safe, efficient and reversible hydrogen storage materials [1]. For mobile and in many cases also for stationary applications the... -
Negative thermal expansion in ReO3: anomalous variation with temperature
ReO3 is a well-known oxide framework with unusual thermal expansion behaviour, exhibiting multiple regions of both positive and negative thermal expansion (NTE). We propose to...
