Investigation of diffusion of branched alkanes in ZSM5
The diffusion coefficients of monobranched and dibranched (methyl)hexane and octane in industrially important zeolite ZSM5 will be measured along with their straight chain... -
Ordering phenomena and magnetic phase transitions in Mn2TeO6
Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural... -
Structure of multi-component mixed metal molybdates by neutron diffraction
Our general aim is to understand the defect structure of complex oxides in ternary oxide systems, which are known to be effective selective oxidation catalysts. For this purpose... -
Investigation of the core-shell interaction in stabilised PdAu nanoparticle c...
Bimetallic nanoparticles are attractive materials due to their novel electronic, magnetic optical and catalytic properties which are distinctly different from those of their... -
Structural Investigation of high active Lewis acid catalysts for selective hy...
The selective oxidation of saturated C-H bonds is a crucial step in many industrial processes. Recent we have discovered an alternative green one-step route for the selective... -
Investigation of the ligand interaction in thiol-capped Au and Pd nanoparticl...
Organic stabilisers, such as thiols, thioethers, amines and polymers (i.e. polyvinylalcohol) have been used for the stabilisation of metal nanoparticles. The catalytic... -
An investigation into the structure of zeolites ZSM-5, Beta and Y as a functi...
The inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of commercial samples of industrially important zeolites ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratios: 25, 30, 80,and 280), Beta (Si/Al ratios: 25, 38, and 300)... -
Probing the nature of the interactions at the surface of fuel cell catalysts ...
The objective of this proposal is to identify the nature of species formed on the surface of the catalyst material when they are exposed to typical fuel cell feed stocks and... -
Investigation of the nature of organic surface species formed on Au-based sup...
The objective of this proposal is to spectroscopically identify the nature of surface species formed during the addition of tert butyl hydroperoxide onto the surface of the...
