Jan. 29, 2018 Neutrons reveal atomic hydrogen diffusion through ‘quantum tunnelling’ on graphene

Neutrons reveal atomic hydrogen diffusion through ‘quantum tunnelling’ on grapheneGraphene is known as the world’s thinnest material due to its 2D structure, where each sheet is only one carbon atom thick, allowing each atom to engage in a chemical reaction from two sides. Graphene flakes can have…

Jan. 17, 2018 Ionic Liquids: nanostructuration and multiscale transport properties. Technological consequences for batteries.

The remarkable chemical and electrochemical stability of Ionic Liquids (ILs) makes them excellent candidates for the development of energy storage systems meeting strict criteria to battery safety in particular combustion. Bringing together three independent probes (neutrons, NMR and light-scattering), we conduct a detailed multiscale analysis of the cation self-diffusion process from the molecul…
