Multi-million pound Inter-Disciplinary Research Programme on Porous Nanomaterials is Underway

Multi-million pound Inter-Disciplinary Research Programme on Porous Nanomaterials is Underway

Description
The ChemEnSus project is a five year, £5 million EPSRC funded programme aiming to apply coordination chemistry to the generation of new multi-functional porous materials to provide innovative solutions for key issues around environmental and chemical sustainability. The project will develop new materials that have applications in hydrogen and gas storage, sieving and purification, carbon capture, chemical reactivity and sensing. One of the key targets is to achieve high capacity hydrogen storage at ambient temperatures, thereby overcoming a major technological barrier that will allow hydrogen to realise its potential as a viable, clean replacement for fossil fuels.

Carbon nanotube structures changed by 'attack' from within, researchers in the School of Chemistry discover

Description
A team of researchers from the School of Chemistry, including Dr Andrei Khlobystov, Dr Nick Besley and Dr Elena Bichoutskaia, in collaboration with Ulm University has shown for the first time that chemical reactions at the nano-level which change the structure of carbon nanotubes can be sparked by an 'attack' from within.
