Rationalizing Deactivation Behavior in Pyrochlore-Type CeO2-ZrO2 Oxygen Storage Catalysts

We are excited to share that results from our collaboration with Toyota Motor Europe have been published in a new article in Chemistry – Methods! “Rationalizing Deactivation Behavior in Pyrochlore-Type CeO2-ZrO2 Oxygen Storage Catalysts Using Multimodal Nano X-Ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography, X-Ray Diffraction Computed Tomography, and Scanning Three-Dimensional X-ray Diffraction” Using our unique multimodal characterisation […]

New Battery Imaging Library (BIL)

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Battery Imaging Library (BIL) – www.batteryimaginglibrary.com BIL is the first open-access collection of multi-modal and multi-length scale battery imaging datasets. A combination of laboratory and synchrotron X-ray CT (micro-CT, nano-CT, XRD-CT), neutron CT, SEM/EDX, EBSD, and S3DXRD. One unique feature is the release of raw experimental […]

New paper on nDTomo software in Digital Discovery

We are pleased to have our new paper on nDTomo software from Research & Development Lead Scientist, Dr Antony Vamvakeros accepted in RSC Digital Discovery. The work was done in collaboration with Dyson School of Design Engineering Imperial College London and UCL Chemistry. nDTomo is a Python-based software suite for the simulation, reconstruction and analysis […]

Methane splitting to hydrogen and base growth carbon nanotubes over Fe-based catalysts

We were proud to work on a new publication for the Storming EU Project- “Methane splitting to hydrogen and base growth carbon nanotubes over Fe-based catalysts”. The work highlights: Cost-effective route to H₂ and added value CNTs from methane splitting. Reaction conditions tailor the catalyst properties and carbon nanotubes growth. Hydrotalcite-derived FeMgAl catalysts enable base-growth of […]

Join us at EuropaCat 2025

Join us at EuropaCat 2025 from 31 August to 5 September. Our scientists Prof. Andrew Beale, Dr. Steve Price, Dr. Yaro Odarchenko and PhD student Antonia Diana Bobitan will be at our booth to answer any questions you may have on how we can employ advanced catalyst characterisation and analysis to understand why catalysts or […]

New nDTomo software from our Research & Development Lead Scientist Dr Antony Vamvakeros

We are pleased to announce the launch of new nDTomo software from our Research & Development Lead Scientist, Dr Antony Vamvakeros. You can find nDTomo available on PyPI. nDTomo is an open-source Python software suite for simulation, visualisation, reconstruction, and analysis of chemical imaging and X-ray tomography data. It is especially useful for hyperspectral datasets […]

Operando XRD mapping experiment at ESRF for the FutureCat project

Our Senior Scientist Dr. Stephen Price, with Dr. Ashok Menon and Harry Gillions from collaborator institute WMG, University of Warwick completed a beamtime in May at ESRF. They set up an operando XRD mapping experiment on multilayer pouch cells fabricated at the WMG battery scale up pilot line to understand their degradation modes. Stephen […]

Latest work exploring the use of the ProxSkip algorithm

We are excited to share our latest work exploring the use of the ProxSkip algorithm as an efficient solution for accelerating iterative methods in imaging inverse problems. This project was led by our Senior Research Scientist Evangelos Papoutsellis, in collaboration with Kostas Papafitsoros (Queen Mary University) and Zeljko Kereta (University College London). By randomly skipping regularisation […]

PhD student Antonia Bobitan completed 2nd beamtime of year for STORMING at DESY

Our PhD student Antonia Bobitan recently completed her 2nd beamtime of the year for STORMING. This time on beamline P21.2 at DESY, where she performed an in situ XRD-CT experiment on 3D-printed monoliths along with collaborators Dr. Matthew Potter (Bath), Maciej Walerowski (Southampton) and Dr. Lucy Costley-Wood (UCL). The team successfully tested our newly designed […]

Successful beamtime for the STORMING project at the ESRF Beamline BM31 in Grenoble, France

Our PhD student Antonia Bobitan took part in a beamtime on beamline BM31 at ESRF in March with Prof. Andrew Beale and Dr. Yaroslav Odarchenko. They joined forces with Maria Asuncion Molina Esquinas from UCL. Antonia performed a combined XAFS/XRD operando experiment on our STORMING catalysts for CH4 conversion to high-purity H2 and CNTs. She […]
