项目摘要

Catalysis is a core area of contemporary science posing major fundamental and conceptual challenges, while being at the heart of the chemical industry - an immensely successful and important part of the overall UK economy (generating in excess of £50 billion per annum). UK catalytic science currently has a strong presence, but there is intense competition in both academic and industrial sectors, and a need for UK industrial activity to shift towards new innovative areas posing major challenges for the future. In light of these challenges the Centre for Catalytic Science endeavours to become a leading institution, both nationally and internationally, in the field and acts to coordinate, promote and advance the UK catalysis research portfolio. The Centre is located on the RAL campus which will allow us both to work closely with the central facilities, to whose development the project will also contribute, and to interact with and contribute to the broader scientific community. The major developments in the in situ characterisation of catalytic materials that have taken place in the recent years have been of immense importance in addressing the complex scientific problems posed by catalytic science The Centre will therefore in pursuing a wide ranging programme of research in catalytic science, develop state-of-the art in situ facilities that will be used for experiments to be conducted at the Diamond, Synchrotron Radiation, ISIS Neutron Scattering and Central Laser Facilities. Such experiments will allow us to probe the structure and evolution of catalysts at the molecular level during their operation; but their effectiveness will require the on-line studies to be integrated with off line experimentation in the Complex, within which we will establish a broad range of experimental facilities.The research areas that have been outlined as major themes within the Centre for Catalytic Science are sustainable catalyst technologies for organic transformations, catalysis for alternative fuels, and catalysis in the protection of the environment. The Centre for Catalytic Science will set-up collaborative research programmes to tackle these major themes and exploit the unrivalled collective expertise the consortium has in catalyst design, testing and characterisation. Moreover, the Centre will be able to make substantial advances by working closely with scientists from ISIS and Diamond to effectively utilise the world-leading facilities present on the RAL campus.

催化是当代科学的核心领域，提出了重大的基础和概念挑战，同时也是化学工业的核心-化学工业是整个英国经济的一个非常成功和重要的组成部分（每年产生超过500亿英镑）。英国催化科学目前有很强的影响力，但在学术和工业部门都有激烈的竞争，英国工业活动需要转向新的创新领域，这对未来构成了重大挑战。鉴于这些挑战，催化科学中心努力成为国内和国际上该领域的领先机构，并协调、促进和推进英国催化研究组合。该中心位于RAL校园内，这将使我们能够与中心设施密切合作，该项目也将为其发展做出贡献，并与更广泛的科学界互动并作出贡献。近年来在催化材料原位表征方面取得的重大进展，对解决催化科学带来的复杂科学问题具有重大意义。因此，在开展广泛的催化科学研究方案时，中心将开发最先进的原位设施，用于在钻石、同步辐射、ISIS中子散射和中央激光设施。这样的实验将使我们能够在分子水平上探测催化剂的结构和进化过程；但它们的有效性将要求在线研究与综合设施中的离线实验相结合，我们将在其中建立广泛的实验设施。催化科学中心已概述为主要主题的研究领域是有机转化的可持续催化技术、替代燃料的催化和环境保护中的催化。催化科学中心将建立合作研究项目，以解决这些重大主题，并利用该联盟在催化剂设计、测试和表征方面无与伦比的集体专业知识。此外，该中心将能够通过与ISIS和戴蒙德的科学家密切合作，有效利用RAL校园内世界领先的设施，取得实质性进展。
