Our research is strongly integrated with advanced specialist characterization at UK central facilities including those associated with synchrotron radiation (Diamond), neutron/muons (ISIS), lasers/spectroscopy (CLF) and computation/data (STFC Scientific Computing) and with key community initiatives, e.g. manufacturing and AI Hubs.
Our partners:
Diamond Light Source (DLS) – access to I15 (Pair Distribution Function (PDF) and B18 (X-ray Absorption spectroscopy (XAS)
Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH) – laboratories for preparation, characterization, and performance testing of Hub research projects with PDRA support
STFC Central Laser Facility (CLF) – access to techniques for the analysis of catalytic systems
ISIS Neutron and Muon Source – community engagement and scientific research, e.g. instrument upgrades, catalysis lab within ISIS, BAG for INS measurements
XMAS@ESRF – EPSRC mid-range facility XMAS@ESR XAS and XRD for catalyst characterisation, in situ cell development, BAG
Access to Scientific Computing at physical sciences data infrastructure and UKRI AIchemy Hub
How to access:
UK Catalysis Hub labsinRCaH – Applications to use the UK Catalysis Hub Laboratory accepted year-round, access depending on equipment availability and research feasibility
BAG for DLS – Access coordinated through Peter Wells
CLF – Access coordinated through Paul Donaldson and Andrew Beale
ISIS Neutron and Muon Source – Access coordinated through Ian Silverwood
