Molecular specificity in neutron imaging: the case of hydrogen adsorption in metal organic frameworks
Literature Information
Margherita Simoni, Triestino Minniti
Neutron imaging is the technique of choice for a number of in situ and operando applications, where a high penetration power is required. White-beam neutron imaging and energy-resolved Bragg edge imaging are successful techniques, the former for the detection of specific elements characterized by strong neutron attenuation and the latter for studying crystal structures. Here we discuss the capabilities of energy-selective neutron imaging taking advantage of the incoherent and inelastic scattering interactions in hydrogenous materials, as a way to obtain molecular-specific information about the composition of a given sample. While few examples from the available literature are discussed, a worked example is presented based on new experimental data on molecular-hydrogen adsorption and conversion in the HKUST-1 metal organic framework.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
