Higher resolution inspection of the hydrocarbon pool connected with the metha...
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via... -
Microscopic structure of acetic acid in water and methanol
Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded... -
Neutron spectroscopy study of the C-H vibrational modes in defective graphene
We have conducted an extended study of hydrogenated defective graphene, synthesized by chemical routes (hydrogenated thermal exfoliated graphite oxide or H-TEGO), including... -
Probing the binding of CO2 on supported aminosilane sorbents with INS
Fossil fuels are the main contributor to global energy consumption, which has increased the amount of atmospheric CO2, increasing the severity of climate change and health... -
Proton dynamics of supported palladium/gold entities in technical catalysts f...
Vinyl acetate is used on the million tonnes per year scale for the production of various grades of polyvinyl acetate, a component in paper, adhesive and textile applications.... -
Solvation and interaction of polymers showing lower critical solution tempera...
LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution.... -
Observation of intermediates on a transfer hydrogenation catalyst
The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Characterisation of tunnelling modes of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina
Our previous proposal strongly suggested that the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina do exhibit tunnelling. This application aims to provide additional evidence to... -
Does the methyl group of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina tunnel?
This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
The application of INS to examine high specification Fe Fischer-Tropsch catal...
Over the last 4-5 years the research team have been developing INS methodology that can be applied to investigate Fe Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts. The first stage of that... -
Further investigation of the methanol to gasoline reaction over ZSM-5 using INS
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously... -
