Energy storage & transformation
Keynote
Demand-driven energy use and the intermittency of the majority of renewable energy options together necessitate the development of parallel energy-storage technologies from grid-balancing through to transportation. This talk focuses on the opportunities afforded by hydrogen and ammonia as future energy vectors and the role of in-situ neutron powder diffraction studies in identifying key...

Understanding the adsorption of hydrogen atoms on graphene is of paramount
importance in a number of fields as diverse as nanoelectronics, energy and hydrogen storage and interstellar chemistry and it appears closely linked to the controversial issue of its mobility at the carbon surface. The recent development of chemical method for producing graphene in gram-scale has opened the doors...

Safe and effective hydrogen storage is widely recognized as a key technology for hydrogen economy in the 21st century, with porous materials being one of the highly potential storage media. The hydrogen storage in such materials is often realized by means of weak Van der Waals interactions between the stored molecule and the pore surface. However, in addition to the surface, interactions...
