A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
Hydration and sweetness of synthetic sweeteners
Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a... -
Synthetic Ion Channels Formed By Self-Assembly of Crown Ethers
Ion channels are present in cell membranes and permit the transport of ions across from the cell interior to the cell exterior (or vice versa), and hence allow chemical and... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an...
