This is an enabling grant that will support a wide range of researchers and fields of research across the engineering and physical sciences (EPS) remit through the upgrade of existing multi-user equipment. Two investment packages have been prioritised that support core EPS research capabilities:1. High resolution X-ray powder diffractometer - powder diffraction is an essential characterization tool for polycrystalline materials, providing information about the atomic structure, compositional homogeneity, orientational and strain distribution in a variety of samples. The Quantum Materials, Photovoltaic, and Nanoscience programmes at Oxford generate a large and steady stream of polycrystalline samples of materials ranging from halide perovskites for solar cell applications to functional oxides and compounds with unique properties at the quantum level. Rapid structural characterisation for each and every sample is vital to achieve the desired characteristics through iterative development cycles. Advanced characterisation such as structural changes at low and very high temperatures are vital to understand the physical properties of the material, for example, sample stability and how the solar efficiency varies at different temperatures. The modern and flexible instrument funded here offers different levels of resolution and flux, and provides both high throughput and reliability.2. Hydrogen Electrolyser - a system to provide high pressure gaseous hydrogen, comprising of five electrolysers, a compressor system and pressurised gaseous hydrogen storage. The equipment will be hosted in the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, alongside over £40m of previous investment in experimental facilities for research into aircraft propulsion (covering heat transfer, hypersonics, instrumentation and numerical modelling) and thermal propulsion systems, supporting nine academic groups, and a number of strategic industrial partnerships (such as Rolls Royce and Jaguar Land Rover). It will enable the ability to produce gaseous hydrogen for the rapidly growing research portfolio in hydrogen for aircraft and road vehicle propulsion within the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, updating the way in which we supply hydrogen to our experimental facilities. There is no other low TRL research centre focussed on the use of hydrogen for propulsion in the UK; with this investment the Oxford Thermofluids Institute will be well-placed to fill this important gap.

这是一项支持赠款，它将通过升级现有的多用户设备的升级来支持整个工程和物理科学（EPS）的广泛研究人员和研究领域。已经优先考虑了两个投资方案，以支持核心EPS研究能力：1。高分辨率X射线粉末衍射仪 - 粉末衍射仪是用于多晶材料的必不可少的特征工具，可提供有关多种样品中原子结构，组成均匀性，定向和应变分布的信息。牛津的量子材料，光伏和纳米科学程序产生了大量稳定的多晶样品，这些样品的材料的多晶样品范围从卤化物钙钛矿到太阳能电池应用到功能性氧化物和具有量子水平独特性能的化合物。每个样品的快速结构表征对于通过迭代发展周期实现所需特征至关重要。先进的表征，例如在低温和高温下的结构变化对于理解材料的物理特性，例如样品稳定性以及太阳效率在不同温度下的范围。这里资助的现代灵活的仪器提供了不同级别的分辨率和通量，并提供了高吞吐量和可靠性2。氢电解器 - 提供高压气态氢，五个电解器，压缩机系统和加压气体氢存储的系统。 The equipment will be hosted in the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, alongside over £40m of previous investment in experimental facilities for research into aircraft propulsion (covering heat transfer, hypersonics, instrumentation and numerical modelling) and thermal propulsion systems, supporting nine academic groups, and a number of strategic industrial partnerships (such as Rolls Royce and Jaguar Land Rover).它将能够为牛津热流动性研究所内的飞机和道路车辆推进氢生产气态氢，以迅速增长的研究组合，从而更新了我们向实验设施提供氢气的方式。在英国，没有其他较低的TRL研究中心专注于将氢用于推进。借助这项投资，牛津热流动学院将得到很好的位置，以填补这一重要空白。
