Structural investigation of the high temperature phases in ammonium iodate
We will investigate the structures of the high temperature (RT to 400K) phases of ammonium iodate, and the features that accompany these phase transitions. From our previous... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Towards the development of lithium manganese nitride as novel two stage regen...
In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
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... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Molecular motions in novel water-soluble organometallic gels
The aim of this proposal is to study the internal dynamics of a novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au- bridged through a tridentate... -
Electrostatic interaction effects in orientationally disordered phases
Plastic phases are characterized by a positional ordering of the molecular centers of mass while molecules are rotating in a hindered way. Therefore these phases are... -
Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
