Improved lignin conversion via selective cleavage of interunit C-C bonds to m...
We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies of the adsorption, activation and reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (lignin models)... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
Higher resolution inspection of the hydrocarbon pool connected with the metha...
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
Neutron spectroscopy study of the C-H vibrational modes in defective graphene
We have conducted an extended study of hydrogenated defective graphene, synthesized by chemical routes (hydrogenated thermal exfoliated graphite oxide or H-TEGO), including... -
Understanding the Influence of Acidity on the Diffusion of Oxygenates in Zeol...
The conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons over ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst exists within the framework of obtaining gasoline fuel and high-value petrochemicals such as propylene... -
Investigating competitive diffusion of methanol, dimethyl ether and water in ...
The competitive diffusion of components of the zeolite catalysed methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) process will be investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The... -
Improved conversion of biomass-derived γ-valerolactone to butene over a ...
We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a multifunctional catalyst (NbAlZSM-5) for the efficient cleavage of C-O bonds and of C-C...
