Hydrocarbon Fluid Structures in Nanoconfinement
Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in... -
Structural characterization of the interactions between Ionic liquids and MOFs
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered... -
The structure of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of... -
The structure of solvents around 2d graphene oxide nanoparticles
Graphene oxide (GO) is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include... -
Investigating an Anomaly in Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Measurements
An unexpected result with another neutron scattering technique has lead us to think that a substance we thought was in a pore throughout the experiment has moved into the pore... -
Water structure in C-A-S-H by neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution:...
The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 57% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class... -
Structural insights into crude oil asphaltenes: A multi-parametric SANS/WANS ...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltene molecules are... -
Evolution of interlayer water to form gel-like layers in graphene oxide
Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation... -
Atomic and pore structure of hetero-atom substituted alluminophosphate materials
We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more... -

Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Hydrogenation of Benzene followed by Total Scattering and in situ 13C NMR
Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It... -
Unraveling the short-range magnetism in intermetallic core-shell nanoparticle...
Magnetic nanoparticles are currently being investigated comprehensively. Our ball-milled TbCu2 nanoparticles show a core-shell structure in which the core orders... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of polyethylene from s...
This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved... -
ADVANCED POLYMER MATERIALS FOR ENERGY SECURITY (POLYMAT)
This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for... -
Probing the Kinetics and Liquid Structure of Toluene Hydrogenation by Pt/MCM-41
In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction... -
The formation of hybrid organo-metallic perovskites by inverse temperature cr...
Hybrid lead perovskites have received much attention over the past decade since they have potential applications in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. Although most devices... -
Insight into the adsorbed water layer of hydration shells around iron oxide n...
With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONPwater interfaces are of great importance for biomedical... -
Are ice particles in the laboratory "good" analogues for collision studies of...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron cm size range, where relative velocities...
