As part of an EPSRC grant coupled with an ISIS Programme Access award, the research team have been developing the methodology of using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to probe the surface chemistry of a series of candidate methane reforming catalysts. Initial experiments on both TOSCA and MAPS have been informative, producing spectra that have been useful in guiding mechanistic studies. That work has additionally resulted in proposals for improvements in cell design and spectrometer configuration. This application seeks MAPS beamtime to evaluate the usefulness of these modifications to our experimental procedures.
