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.

这项具有高影响力和挑战性的提案将配位化学的创新理念汇集到一个跨学科和多学科的项目中，以开辟分子、纳米尺度和材料科学的新视野。我们的愿景是将配位化学应用于新型多功能多孔材料的设计和制备，以实现基础科学和技术进步，并为 21 世纪的关键问题之一——清洁、可再生能源——提供创新的解决方案。这将通过在由设计的多孔金属有机框架（MOF）材料产生的有限和多功能空间内的化学层次和相互作用的控制方面创造范式转变来实现。因此，我们的战略是通过六个研究小组的专业知识和协作，开发一个世界领先的、全面的基础研究计划，在物理科学和工程学的互补领域具有临界质量。我们针对 i 进行相互关联的研究。用于气体和挥发性有机化合物（VOC）储存、封存和反应的自组装杂化材料的固态孔隙率；二.用于燃料电池应用的气体分离和纯化的膜的孔隙率；和 iii.传感设备和应用表面的孔隙率。 5年后，我们将提供可在环境温度下发挥作用的高容量储氢材料。这将克服当前的主要技术障碍，释放氢作为化石燃料的可行、清洁替代品的潜力，并使氢经济成为现实。这些突破性进展的影响和意义将是巨大的。我们对运输中化石燃料的需求和依赖将大幅减少，并且将实现基于氢燃料电池的新清洁能源载体，在使用时碳排放为零。然而，众所周知，燃料电池对气体纯度非常敏感，因此，为了实现我们的总体目标，我们还必须了解氢和其他污染物/竞争对手底物（例如来自生物质和水电解的其他气体、水和挥发性有机物）如何相互作用、结合并在混合材料中被感知。因此，氢及其污染物的去除、纯化、运输和传感问题代表了与氢储存的巨大挑战紧密相关的基本科学和技术挑战。计划拨款将支持合成、表征、存储、纯化和传感等跨学科研究链的科学、智力和技术相互依赖。它将支持必要的协调和互动努力，以进行基础研究和分析，了解聚集孔隙的行为方式以及如何在微观、中观和宏观的不同体系水平上控制它。该计划确定了四个相互关联的研究主题： 1. 核心基础科学：合成、组装、建模和表征； 2. 性质和功能：气体和VOC的吸收、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度，以便进行变革性和颠覆性研究。 10 名 PDRA 级科学家和 15 名博士级科学家将在令人兴奋、刺激和好奇心驱动的环境中接受培训，以便将来在英国就业。这将与适当和广泛的知识转移和外展活动相互联系，以最大限度地发挥研究成果的影响。该申请的基础是 PI 和 CI 持有的当前研究收入中的 2420 万美元的巨额资金，以及 457 万美元的配套资金，这反映了主办机构对此提案的明确支持。
