我们将为英国学术界和工业界的科学家和工程师专家提供一种新型的高性能液体专用XPS光谱仪，这是英国首个此类光谱仪。这种类型的仪器是许多科学和工程学科中使用的重要工具，包括例如纳米技术、化学、表面科学、功能材料、制药、催化、冶金、传感器、环境和能源。LiPPS将提供独特的散装液体和溶质的原子测量。其他新功能使该仪器更易于操作，能够处理更广泛的样品类型，并自动采集数据。这一独特的设施将为英国大学和工业界提供开展世界领先研究的机会。通过在诺丁汉大学的诺丁汉纳米技术和纳米科学中心（NNNC）提供开放获取，我们的目标是最大限度地提高该仪器对英国科学和工业的影响。为了帮助实现这一目标，诺丁汉将与其他领先的光电子能谱中心合作，特别是由纽卡斯尔主办的新的国家设施（NEXUS）。NNNC是一个可持续的跨学科中心，支持开放获取最先进的仪器。提供这些设施是诺丁汉大学的优先事项。新的LiPPS仪器将成为NNNC的一项关键服务，NNNC致力于长期维护和更新这一资源，以利于英国的研究。

SummaryWe will offer to UK academic and industrial scientists and engineers expert facilitated access to a new high performance liquids dedicated XPS spectrometer, the first of its kind in the UK. This type of instrument is an important tool used across many science and engineering disciplines, including for example nanotechnology, chemistry, surface science, functional materials, pharmaceuticals, catalysis, metallurgy, sensors, the environment and energy. LiPPS will provide unique atomistic measurements of both bulk liquids and solutes there-in. Other new features make this instrument easier to operate, able to deal with a wider range of sample types and to acquire data autonomously. This unique facility will provide UK universities and industry with the opportunity to carry out world-leading research. By providing open access at the Nottingham Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre (NNNC) at the University of Nottingham we aim to maximise the impact of this instrument on UK science and industry. To help achieve this Nottingham will collaborate with other leading centres of Photoelectron Electron Spectroscopy particularly the new national facility (NEXUS) hosted by Newcastle. The NNNC operates as a sustainable cross-faculty multidisciplinary centre supporting open-access to state-of the art-instrumentation. The provision of such facilities is a priority of the University of Nottingham. The new LiPPS instrument will become a key service within the NNNC which is committed to the long term maintenance and updating of this resource for the benefit of research in the UK.
