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，构成了重大基本和概念性挑战，同时是化学工业的核心 - 这是英国整体经济的巨大成功且重要的一部分（每年产生的500亿英镑）。英国催化科学目前具有强烈的影响力，但是在学术和工业领域都有激烈的竞争，并且需要英国工业活动向新的创新地区转移，为未来带来重大挑战。鉴于这些挑战，催化科学中心努力成为在国际和国际，在现场和行为中成为领先的机构，并以协调，促进和推进英国催化研究组合的行为。该中心位于RAL校园中，这将使我们俩都可以与中心设施紧密合作，该项目的发展也将贡献，并与更广泛的科学界进行互动和贡献。 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 assumed by catalytic science The Centre will therefore in pursuing a wide range of programme of research in catalytic science, development 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.这样的实验将使我们能够在其操作过程中探测催化剂在分子水平上的结构和演变。但是它们的有效性将需要在综合体中与离线实验进行整合，在该研究中，我们将在其中建立广泛的实验设施。在催化科学中心内已概述的研究领域是可持续的催化催化剂技术，用于有机转化，用于替代富尔斯的催化，以及环境保护的催化。催化科学中心将制定协作研究计划，以解决这些主要主题，并探讨该财团在催化剂设计，测试和表征方面所拥有的无与伦比的集体专业知识。此外，该中心将能够通过与ISIS和Diamond的科学家紧密合作，有效利用RAL校园中存在的世界领先的设施来取得重大进展。
