Neutron and muon techniques have a very wide range of applications for studies of materials relevant to Clean Energy. Materials for batteries and energy storage; fuel cells; hydrogen storage; engineering components for wind turbines, fission or fusion; photovoltaics; catalysis for biofuel creation; or materials for carbon capture and storage are all amenable to neutron and muon investigation. Further information on neutron and muon methods applied to energy materials can be found on the ISIS website.
The next ISIS call for proposals has deadline of 20 April 2026. Ahead of this, we are holding a webinar to introduce neutron and muon methods applied to Clean Energy materials. Details of this webinar, and how to register, can be found on the webinar information page.
We particularly welcome new users to ISIS, and are keen to support those with UK research council grants in the Clean Energy area. Our scientists can provide advice on how to use the facility and its techniques. ISIS is free to use for UK researchers, and we cover travel and subsistence costs to use the facility.
