The Interaction of Ammonia with Binary and Ternary Deuterides;
The interaction of ammonia with binary hydrides (prototypically, the interaction of LiH with ammonia gas) is thought to be the predominant interaction for hydrogen production... -
Decomposition studies of Li(1-x)NaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3 and Li3Na(ND2)4
We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the... -
In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -
Ammonia adsorption studies of Li(11)BD4 and Mg((11)BD4)2
On exposure to ammonia, LiBD4 and Mg(BD4)2 form the respective ammoniates, Li(11)BD4(ND3)n and Mg((11)BD4)2(ND3)6. We have identified the decomposition temperatures, kinetics... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies of hydrogen desorption and reversibility ...
We ask for 4 days beam time on GEM to study the dehydrogenation and subsequent rehydrogenation of Mg(11BD4)2. Mg(BH4)2 is currently one of the most promising lightweight... -
The structural phase transitions of Ammonia Borane, an invetigation of the dy...
Ammonia Borane (AB), NH3BH3, was first synthesised in the 1950s and has now become the focus of a world wide research program with regards to its potential as a hydrogen store.... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...
