项目摘要

This high-impact, challenging proposal brings together innovative ideas in coordination chemistry within a single inter and multidisciplinary project to open up new horizons across molecular, nanoscale and materials science. Our VISION is to apply coordination chemistry to the design and preparation of new multi-functional porous materials to deliver fundamental scientific and technological advances, and provide innovative solutions to one of the key issues of the 21st Century, that of clean, renewable energy. This will be achieved by creating paradigm shifts in the control of chemical hierarchy and interactions within the confined and multi-functionalized space generated by designed porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. Our STRATEGY is thus to develop a world-leading, overarching and fundamental research program with critical mass across complementary areas of physical sciences and engineering through the expertise and collaboration of six research groups. We target inter-related studies on i. porosity in the solid state in self-assembled hybrid materials for gas and volatile organic compound (voc) storage, sequestration and reactivity; ii. porosity in membranes for gas separations and purification for fuel cell applications; and iii. porosity at surfaces for sensing devices and applications. After 5 years we will deliver high capacity hydrogen storage materials that function at ambient temperatures. This will overcome a current major technological barrier unlocking the potential of hydrogen as a viable, clean replacement for fossil fuels and enabling the Hydrogen Economy to become a reality. The impact and significance of such ground-breaking advances will be huge. Our need and reliance upon fossil fuels for transport would be slashed and a new clean energy vector based on the hydrogen fuel cell with zero carbon emissions at the point of use would be achieved. However, fuel cells are notoriously sensitive to gas purity, and thus, in order to realise our overall ambition, we must also understand how hydrogen and other contaminant/competitor substrates, such as other gases, water and vocs from biomass and water electrolysis, interact, bind and are sensed within hybrid materials. Thus, issues of removal, purification, transport and sensing of hydrogen and its contaminants represent fundamental scientific and technological challenges that go hand-in-hand with the huge challenge of hydrogen storage. Programme Grant funding will support the scientific, intellectual and technological inter-dependence of the cross-disciplinary research strands of synthesis, characterisation, storage, purification and sensing. It will support the necessary coordinated and interactive effort to undertake fundamental studies and analysis of how assembled porosity behaves and how it can be controlled at different regime levels, at the micro-, meso- and macro- levels. Four inter-linked research THEMES are identified within the programme: 1. Core fundamental science: synthesis, assembly, modelling and characterisation; 2. Properties and function: gas and voc uptake, selectivity and reactivity; 3 Gas sieving, fuel cell membranes, theory, analysis and multi-scale modelling; 4. Surface templating and sensing devices.The programme of work demands the managerial and financial flexibility and freedom that consolidated funding brings in order to deliver transformative and disruptive research. The training of 10 PDRA- and 15 PhD-level scientists for future employment in the UK will be delivered in an exciting, stimulating and curiosity-driven environment. This will be interlinked to appropriate and extensive knowledge transfer and outreach activities to maximise the impact of research outputs. The application is underpinned by significant funding of 24.2M in current research income held by the PI and CIs, and by 4.57M of matched funding reflecting the unequivocal support of the host institutions for this proposal.

这项高影响力，具有挑战性的提议汇集了单个间和多学科项目中的协调化学思想，以在分子，纳米级和材料科学上开放新的视野。我们的愿景是将协调化学应用于新的多功能材料的设计和准备，以实现基本的科学和技术进步，并为21世纪的关键问题之一提供创新的解决方案，即清洁，可再生能源。这将通过在控制化学层次结构的控制和由设计的多孔金属有机框架（MOF）材料产生的密闭和多功能空间内的相互作用中创建范式转移来实现。因此，我们的策略是通过六个研究小组的专业知识和协作，开发一个世界领先，总体和基础研究计划，在物理科学和工程的互补领域进行临界质量。我们针对I。固态的孔隙率在自组装的杂化材料中，用于气体和挥发性有机化合物（VOC）储存，固存和反应性； ii。膜中的孔隙率，用于燃料电池应用的气体分离和纯化；和iii。孔隙率在传感设备和应用的表面上。 5年后，我们将提供在环境温度下运行的高容量氢存储材料。这将克服当前的重大技术障碍，以释放氢的潜力，作为化石燃料的可行，干净的替代品，并使氢经济能够成为现实。这种开创性进步的影响和意义将是巨大的。我们的需求和对化石燃料运输的需求将被削减，并基于使用碳排放量为零的氢燃料电池的新清洁能量载体将实现。但是，众所周知，燃料电池对气体纯度敏感，因此，为了实现我们的整体野心，我们还必须了解氢和其他污染物/竞争者底物如何在混合材料中如何在生物量和水电气中的其他气体，水和VOC诸如生物量和水电气中的VOC和VOC。因此，氢及其污染物的去除，净化，传输和感测的问题代表了与氢储存的巨大挑战息息相关的基本科学和技术挑战。计划赠款资金将支持跨学科研究链的科学，智力和技术相互依存关系，构成，表征，存储，净化和感应。它将支持必要的协调和互动式的努力，以进行基础研究并分析组装孔隙的行为以及如何在微型，中索和宏观水平下在不同的状态水平上进行控制。该计划中确定了四个相互联系的研究主题：1。核心基础科学：综合，组装，建模和表征； 2。特性和功能：气体和VOC吸收，选择性和反应性； 3气体筛分，燃料电池膜，理论，分析和多尺度建模； 4。表面模板和传感设备。工作计划要求合并资金带来的管理和财务灵活性和自由，以提供变革性和破坏性的研究。将在英国进行10名PDRA和15位博士学位科学家培训以未来就业的培训，以令人兴奋的，刺激和好奇的驱动环境进行。这将与适当和广泛的知识转移和外展活动相互联系，以最大程度地提高研究成果的影响。该申请的基础是PI和CIS持有的当前研究收入的大量资金，以及457万的匹配资金，反映了对该提案的主机机构的明确支持。
