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... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
In situ NPD investigation of double perovskite manganites in wet hydrogen atm...
The aim of the experiment is to investigate by means of in situ NPD the structural behavior of two new Mn-rich double perovskites compounds, NdBaCo1.5Mn0.5O5+d and NdBaMn2O5+d... -
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... -
In-situ studies of amides with ammonia
The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides. -
Local Structure in Ni-Cr Solid Solutions
The future of aviation relies on the improvement of the efficiency of the jet-turbine engines, which is in turn reliant on the properties of the materials (specifically the... -
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... -
Spin orientation in natural nanoscale intergrowths and the origin of giant ex...
The orientation of spins in a natural sample of Ti-bearing hematite (Fe2O3) has been measured previously from 2-300K using neutron powder diffraction. It was shown that spins... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively...
