Swansea University will use this equipment award from EPSRC too strategically invest in state of the art equipment in key areas across the Faculty of Science and Engineering within the remit of EPSRC. The primary objective of these interventions is to significantly enhance our ability to manufacture and characterise energy materials expanding both throughput and scale of the research. The equipment requested is a major extension of our current capabilities in particular in the fabrication of 3rd generation photovoltaics enabling enhanced device performance and complexity. The equipment has been carefully selected to fill major gaps in end-to-end fabrication and characterisation facilities for energy materials. This intervention will be of a major benefit to our sizeable research community enabling both higher performing and larger devices for study of behaviour and scale-up. This broader opportunity for scientific excellence will provide a benefit to both established research groups and for accelerating the careers of next generation researchers who will have open-access. The equipment has been carefully selected to augment, enhance and add value to the current research capabilities at the University. It will allow the creation of new fabrication and characterisation pathways, these new experimental methodologies will provide new insights, new data and improved quality of existing data. This, in turn, will lead to publication in high impact factor journals, create further opportunities for collaboration and growth of our networks through extensive public engagement and help leverage external funding to further grow and develop these areas.

斯旺西大学将利用 EPSRC 颁发的设备奖，对 EPSRC 职权范围内的科学与工程学院关键领域的最先进设备进行战略性投资。这些干预措施的主要目标是显着提高我们制造和表征能源材料的能力，扩大研究的通量和规模。所需的设备是我们当前能力的重大扩展，特别是在第三代光伏制造方面，可提高设备性能和复杂性。该设备经过精心挑选，旨在填补能源材料端到端制造和表征设施方面的主要空白。这种干预措施将为我们庞大的研究社区带来重大好处，使我们能够使用更高性能和更大的设备来研究行为和扩大规模。这种更广泛的科学卓越机会将为既定的研究小组和加速开放获取的下一代研究人员的职业生涯带来好处。这些设备经过精心挑选，旨在增强、增强大学当前的研究能力并为其增值。它将允许创建新的制造和表征途径，这些新的实验方法将提供新的见解、新的数据并提高现有数据的质量。反过来，这将导致在高影响因子期刊上发表文章，通过广泛的公众参与为我们的网络合作和发展创造更多机会，并帮助利用外部资金进一步发展和发展这些领域。
