Copy of: Inelastic Neutron Scattering on Activated Phyllosilicate Catalysts
We propose to study a model phyllosilicate catalyst that, upon brief thermal treatment, releases OH groups from its surface to generate pockets of coordinatively unsaturated... -
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Lignin Model Compound - TOSCA
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
Test of a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrothermal Cell
The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for... -
The molecule state in the molecularly doped metals
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy is an ideal technique for studying the interaction of a metal with ligands because the metal is essentially invisible to neutrons... -
The Anderson-Gruneisen parameter and high P/T crystal structure of post-perov...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present in all the lower mantle: MgSiO3-perovskite (PV) and... -
Exploring the Catalytic Pathway of Butane Isomerisation
The petrochemical industry accounts for a large proportion of global chemical industry, as such even subtle improvements in product yield can result in significant economic and... -
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Benzyl Phenyl Ether as a Lignin Model Compound
Bio-oil is a renewable energy from biomass, however, its high content of oxygenates result in low heating values and chemical/thermal instability. One effective upgrading... -
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... -
In-situ investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content....
