We’re pleased to introduce BeamStop — a new software platform we developed for spatially resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. BeamStop has been developed quietly over the past two years, in close connection with real experimental work. We’re now ready to bring it out of stealth. The motivation was a clear gap. Techniques such as X-ray powder […]
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 […]
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 […]
Finden’s latest work working with VITO, National Institute of Chemistry Slovenija and UCL Chemistry has been published in a new paper by Clément Jacquot “A multi-scale study of 3D printed Co-Al2O3 catalyst monoliths versus spheres” in Chemical Engineering Journal Advances (open access). This study demonstrates the characteristics of two model packing configurations: 3D printed (3DP) […]
You can see the latest work from our former PhD student Dr Dorota Matras and our scientists on 5D chemical imaging in a new paper published at the Journal of Materials Chemistry A of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC): “Multi-length Scale 5D Diffraction Imaging of Ni-Pd/CeO2-ZrO2/Al2O3 Catalyst during Partial Oxidation of Methane“. The work […]
You can see our latest work on X-ray tomographic diffraction imaging of operating dense ceramic hollow-fibre catalytic membrane reactors (CMRs) – “Real-time tomographic diffraction imaging of catalytic membrane reactors for the oxidative coupling of methane” in Catalysis Today. The paper is a result of a collaboration between scientists at UCL Chemistry, Finden, ESRF, VITO and ISIS Neutron […]
Our scientists’ new work on Si-graphite electrodes used for Li-ion battery applications with high resolution in situ X-ray chemical imaging has been published in a new paper, “Spatially Resolving Lithiation in Silicon–Graphite Composite Electrodes via in Situ High-Energy X-ray Diffraction Computed Tomography” in Nano Letters. The work was performed with Donal Finegan from the National […]
