This proposal sets out to establish an Energy Materials Research Facility (EMReF) in the Research Complex at Harwell. Energy issues, both nationally and internationally, are among the most urgent and important global challenges. Energy storage and efficiency, CO2 mitigation and reducing our dependence on limited fossil fuel supplies for energy conversion are all recognised as major challenges and there is a strong expectation that these issues will be addressed in large part by new scientific developments and technological solutions. EMRef will make important and timely contributions to this effort.EMReF is the initial step in forming a consortium of UK academics with expertise across the field of energy research. Central facilities such as the Diamond Light Source and the ISIS Spallation Neutron Source, collocated on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus alongside the Research Complex, and HECToR, the supercomputer based at Edinburgh, form a significant sector of the UK research base.Our VISION is to transform the impact of these central facilities in energy research. EMReF cuts across traditional subject boundaries and plans to link into a number of the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council's Sustainable Power Generation and Supply (SUPERGEN) consortia. It will also foster close links with industry and organisations such as UK Energy Research Centre, National Physical Laboratory and the Energy Technologies Institute. EMReF will impact on a broad range of energy research and technology from materials discovery and the fundamental understanding of physical processes through to systems performance, material scale-up and pilot plant assessment. In addition to establishing the Research Complex, Diamond and ISIS together as the premier location worldwide for central facilities energy research, our OBJECTIVES are (i) to foster synergy and collaborations with academia, industry and government agencies in the UK, Europe and beyond through shared development programmes, collaborative experiments and an extended visitor programme, (ii) to train a new generation of scientists in an exciting and challenging multi-disciplinary environment in energy-related projects that span the physical sciences and engineering and involve the biological sciences, (iii) to develop new generations of solutions for immediate energy-technology requirements and plan long-term programmes across energy research that include energy storage (batteries, hydrogen), energy harvesting (photocatalysts, photovoltaics and electrocatalysts for fuel production) and energy utilisation (fuel cells) and (iv) to promote and communicate scientific results and advances via high level publications, workshops, conferences, outreach and extensive knowledge-transfer activities.

该提案旨在在哈韦尔研究中心建立一个能源材料研究设施（EMReF）。能源问题，无论是国内还是国际，都是最紧迫和最重要的全球挑战之一。能源储存和效率、二氧化碳减排以及减少能源转换对有限化石燃料供应的依赖都被认为是重大挑战，人们强烈期望新的科学发展和技术解决方案将在很大程度上解决这些问题。 EMRef 将为这项工作做出重要而及时的贡献。EMReF 是组建一个由具有能源研究领域专业知识的英国学者组成的联盟的第一步。钻石光源和 ISIS 散裂中子源等中央设施（位于哈韦尔科学与创新园区的研究综合体旁边）以及位于爱丁堡的超级计算机 HECToR 构成了英国研究基地的重要部分。我们的愿景是改变这些中央设施在能源研究中的影响。 EMReF 跨越了传统的学科界限，并计划与工程和物理科学研究委员会的多个可持续发电和供应 (SUPERGEN) 联盟建立联系。它还将促进与英国能源研究中心、国家物理实验室和能源技术研究所等行业和组织的密切联系。 EMReF 将影响广泛的能源研究和技术，从材料发现和对物理过程的基本理解到系统性能、材料放大和中试工厂评估。除了将研究综合体、戴蒙德和 ISIS 共同建立为全球中央设施能源研究的首要地点外，我们的目标是 (i) 通过共享资源，促进与英国、欧洲及其他地区的学术界、工业界和政府机构的协同与合作。开发计划、合作实验和扩展访客计划，(ii) 在令人兴奋和具有挑战性的多学科环境中培训新一代科学家，从事跨物理科学和工程并涉及生物科学的能源相关项目，(iii) ）开发新的针对当前能源技术需求的几代解决方案，并规划能源研究的长期计划，包括能源储存（电池、氢气）、能量收集（用于燃料生产的光催化剂、光伏和电催化剂）和能源利用（燃料电池）和（iv） ）通过高水平出版物、研讨会、会议、外展和广泛的知识转让活动来推广和交流科学成果和进步。
