Hydrogen storage materials studied at neutron powder diffractometer SPODI

Measuring Single Crystal Diffuse Neutron Scattering on the Wombat High Intensity Powder Diffractometer

Single crystal diffuse scattering was collected on the Wombat high-intensity powder diffractometer at the OPAL reactor at the Bragg Institute. The difficulty in measuring diffuse scattering comes from its relatively low intensity compared to the Bragg peaks, a factor of 10−10 smaller. Wombat allows collection of diffuse scattering due to its high intensity and large two-dimensional detector. Di...

Nanostructured Polymeric Materials for Hydrogen Storage

Hydrogen Storage by Physisorption on Porous Materials

Predicting New Materials for Hydrogen Storage Application

Knowledge about the ground-state crystal structure is a prerequisite for the rational understanding of solid-state properties of new materials. To act as an efficient energy carrier, hydrogen should be absorbed and desorbed in materials easily and in high quantities. Owing to the complexity in structural arrangements and difficulties involved in establishing hydrogen positions by x-ray diffract...
