Abstract
Society faces major challenges that require disruptive new materials solutions. For example, there is a worldwide demand for materials for sustainable energy applications, such as safer new battery technologies or the efficient capture and utilization of solar energy. This project will develop an integrated approach to designing, synthesizing and evaluating new functional materials, which will be developed across organic and inorganic solids, and also hybrids that contain both organic and inorganic modules in a single solid.
The UK is well placed to boost its knowledge economy by discovering breakthrough functional materials, but there is intense global completion. Success, and long-term competitiveness, is critically dependent on developing improved capability to create such materials. All technologically advanced nations have programmes that address this challenge, exemplified by the $100 million of initial funding for the US Materials Genome Initiative.
The traditional approach to building functional materials, where the properties arise from the placement of the atoms, can be contrasted with large-scale engineering. In engineering, the underpinning Newtonian physics is understood to the point that complex structures, such as bridges, can be constructed with millimetre precision. By contrast, the engineering of functional materials relies on a much less perfect understanding of the relationship between structure and function at the atomic level, and a still limited capability to achieve atomic level precision in synthesis. Hence, the failure rate in new materials synthesis is enormous compared with large-scale engineering, and this requires large numbers of researchers to drive success, placing the UK at a competitive disadvantage compared to larger countries. The current difficulty of materials design at the atomic level also leads to cultural barriers: in building a bridge, the design team would work closely with the engineering construction team throughout the process. By contrast, the direct, day-to-day integration of theory and synthesis to identify new materials is not common practice, despite impressive advances in the ability of computation to tackle more complex systems. This is a fundamental challenge in materials research.
This Programme Grant will tackle the challenge by delivering the daily working-level integration of computation and experiment to discover new materials, driven by a closely interacting team of specialists in structure and property prediction, measurement and materials synthesis. Key to this will be unique methods developed by our team that led to recent landmark publications in Science and Nature. We are therefore internationally well placed to deliver this timely vision.
Our approach will enable discovery of functional materials on a much faster timescale. It will have broad scope, because we will develop it across materials types with a range of targeted properties. It will have disruptive impact because it uses chemical understanding and experiment in tandem with calculations that directly exploit chemical knowledge. In the longer term, the approach will enable a wide range of academic and industrial communities in chemistry and also in physics and engineering, where there is often a keener understanding of the properties required for applications, to design better materials. This approach will lead to new materials, such as battery electrolytes, materials for information storage, and photocatalysts for solar energy conversion, that are important societal and commercial targets in their own right.
We will exploit discoveries and share the approach with our commercial partners via the Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry and the new Materials Innovation Factory, a £68 million UK capital investment in state-of-the-art materials research facilities for both academic and industrial users. Industry and the Universities commit 55% of the project cost.

Planned Impact
The need for accelerated approaches to identify materials with enhanced performance is internationally recognised. New functional materials can transform many other disciplines and application areas in science and engineering, such as healthcare, information storage, catalysis, transport, energy storage, use and generation. This produces two main types of impact from the project.
The new functional materials generated can have impacts in specific areas: for example, a new solid electrolyte for a lithium battery to replace a potentially flammable liquid electrolyte. We will exploit these materials with our industrial partners, with academics working at higher technology readiness levels (e.g., in materials, device and manufacturing engineering) and with a wider industrial network.
The project approach itself will have broader, long-term impact. The modular, integrated approach that accelerates materials discovery has the potential to identify valuable functional materials beyond our initial targets. It may also open up new types of material not readily accessed by less integrated approaches. This will generate impact over multiple sectors by helping researchers working across the full spectrum of materials types, their functions and applications, to address the current and unpredictable future needs of society. This breadth of impact arises from the project focus on both organic and inorganic materials, and hybrids, and its integration of computation and experiment. A narrower programme would impact fewer communities. Industry in particular frames problems around function, rather than specific materials, and hence needs capability that spans materials types.
Day-one partners Johnson Matthey, NPL, Exxon, NSG, Unilever, and Ceres Power will benefit from specific technical developments, for example in complex multicomponent systems, and from new thermoelectric, ion transporting, catalytic, multiferroic, electroceramic, transparent conducting and photocatalytic materials. They commit £1.35 M in support, demonstrating industry interest in the project vision. They have strong networks to raise the technology readiness level (TRL) of project outputs. These leading innovators see the potential of the integrated PG approach to accelerate materials discovery and development to meet ever more challenging performance needs: new manufacturing methods allow more advanced materials to be integrated into product design at scale, so the project vision for accelerated discovery of such materials could radically change industry strategies.
We have a successful strategy for dissemination to large and small UK companies working in cognate areas (e.g., BP, Datalase, ACAL Energy) by the Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry, formed by the Liverpool investigators with Manchester, Bolton and STFC Daresbury in 2009. The £68 M Materials Innovation Factory (open Q2 2016) will allow daily interaction of PG researchers with industry, and enable engagement with the research community by hosting visits from new partner groups engaged through extensive profile-raising activity.
Society will benefit through enhanced energy, safety and resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impacts associated with higher performance materials, enhancing quality of life. The new approach will enable replacements to be sought for materials reliant for their function on rare, toxic, or hard-to-access elements, thereby removing risk from many sectors of society and industry and creating commercial opportunities. The training and mentoring of a cohort of at least 34 researchers expert in the integrated approach will be a competitive advantage to the UK, and a benefit to society, because these workers will apply the methods in industry and a range of academic disciplines. A summer school and project symposia will further disseminate training benefits.

| Description | Structure - property - function maps have been developed and used to prioritise synthesis of organic molecular solids for the first time, and has been published in Nature. A new concept for the identification of stable crystalline solids has been developed, and this probe structure approach used to computationally prioritise synthesis based purely on composition. This has been published in Nature. A new method for the prediction of crystal structures has been developed, and the associated codes ported to supercomputers at the Hartree Centre, and used in Faraday Institution projects and in commercial project that led to IP filed by the commercial partner. These advances are significant steps towards realising the overall vision of the project, as they allow experimental researchers to prioritise their work based on computational input. A workshop in 2021 gave practical training in the use of these tools to the UK community from academia and industry. Computational guidance has been key to the development of best-in-class materials for solar hydrogen generation, reported in Nature Chemistry, and for the separation of hydrogen isotopes, reported in Science. By combining experiment-led design with computational understanding, we identified a phonon glass-electron crystal oxide for thermoelectric applications. New types of lithium ion conductor have been identified. Experiment-led programmes are also yielding new concepts, such as nanostructuring of solid oxide fuel cell cathodes as reported in Nature Energy, new chemistry for stable, low energy gas separation processes and new routes to multifunctional (transparent conducting, both p-type and In-free) materials of importance for both energy conservation and harvesting and information technology. New lead-free solar absorber materials have been discovered and patented together with partners at Oxford Physics. Autonomous laboratory robots have been reported in Nature. The lowest thermal conductivity inorganic material was reported in Science. A new machine-learning tool and the associated collaborative AI workflow to provide decision support for exploratory synthetic materials chemistry was reported. |

| Description | Progress in developing the capability to accelerate discovery in the project has been presented at internal research prioritisation meetings at major UK and multinational companies, including the 20 participants at the Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry (KCMC) Industrial Steering Group meeting in June 2017, September 2018 and November 2019, spanning SMEs to large UK and multinational corporates: the KCMC Knowledge Transfer team now routinely highlight project outcomes and capabilities in digital materials discovery to UK industry partners. This presentation highlighted advances in computational, robotic and data-driven approaches pioneered in this project to a cross-sector industry group and has, together with the broad range of presentations given by the project team, produced a large number of follow-on discussions and programmes with companies. For example, a series of meetings to disseminate the approach have also been held with senior industrial research staff at two major companies. Both series of meetings generated interest in starting major new internal research directions for the organisations, resulting in two funded projects to accelerate internal research priorities using the project approach, and further follow-up involving visits at CTO and CIO level to gauge the potential for further and broader uptake, with project researchers giving tutorial presentations on the project approach and tools to industrial partners. There are now projects involving the digital discovery tools and vision developed in the project with six UK-based companies spanning sectors. The new computational approaches developed in the project have been ported to the Hartree Centre supercomputers for industrial use in collaboration with the Centre. These approaches are now used in a Faraday Institution project, and were used in an industrial collaboration that led to the filing of IP by the industrial partner. Work on autonomous laboratory robotics has led to the formation of a spin out company that is now working with major corporates to transform their internal research protocols. The digital discovery tools developed in the project have contributed to the capability of the Materials Innovation Factory, with its industry-academy colocation of over 300 researchers. The strong engagement across disciplines to computer science played a key role in the establishment of the £12.7M Digital Innovation Facility cofounded by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool City Region), which includes IBM as a partner and offers robotics, AI and data analytics capabilities for industrial collaboration. The project has thus pioneered cross-disciplinary discovery approaches spanning chemistry, physics and materials and computer science. Such approaches will be critical in the accelerated research required to tackle challenges associated with net zero, such as decarbonisation of energy production and the re-engineering of global materials value chains so that the carbon which is embedded in commonly used products and commodities comes from renewable sources rather than petrochemicals. (https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2021/08/13/the-power-of-10x-using-materials-innovation-to-reach-net-zero/) Work on formaldehyde capture has resulted in the formation of a spinout company. This work won first prize in the RSC Emerging Technologies competition. A spin-out company, Porous Liquid Technologies (https://www.porousliquidtechnologies.com; company no. NI646834) was formed on Jul. 10 2017 to exploit the new class of compounds developed in this grant, porous liquids (Nature 2015). This company is a joint spin-out from Queens University Belfast and the University of Liverpool, and both Prof. Stuart James (QUB) and Prof. Andrew Cooper (UoL) are Directors of the company. The early technologies under investigation include low energy carbon dioxide capture and pollutant removal. A patent has been filed by a company on porous materials. Capability and materials developed under the project informed and shaped our leadership of the Royal Society's policy briefing to UK government on the utilisation of carbon dioxide. New solid oxide fuel cell materials emerging from the project were scaled-up and evaluated with a commercial partner, which then filed a patent on the technology. The digital materials discovery approaches pioneered in this project have significantly contributed to the regional growth strategies of the Liverpool City Region Mayor and Combined Authority to achieve innovation led economic growth (https://www.liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/LCRCA_InnovationProspectus_Web.pdf) through the creation of high impact R&D led clusters around distinctive world-leading assets and capabilities. The role of the materials chemistry in contributing to delivering Liverpool's regional targets of 5% of GVA R&D investment p.a. and hitting net zero by 2040 is highlighted by its identification as one of 3 world-class science areas in the 2022 refreshed Science and Innovation Audit (https://www.liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/LCR-Science-Innovation-Audit-refresh-final.pdf). |

| Title | A database of experimentally measured lithium solid electrolyte conductivities evaluated with machine learning |
| Description | The application of machine learning models to predict material properties is determined by the availability of high-quality data. We present an expert-curated dataset of lithium ion conductors and associated lithium ion conductivities measured by a.c. impedance spectroscopy. This dataset has 820 entries collected from 214 sources; entries contain a chemical composition, an expert-assigned structural label, and ionic conductivity at a specific temperature (from 5 to 873 °C). There are 403 unique chemical compositions with an associated ionic conductivity near room temperature (15-35 °C). The materials contained in this dataset are placed in the context of compounds reported in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database with unsupervised machine learning and the Element Movers Distance. This dataset is used to train a CrabNet-based classifier to estimate whether a chemical composition has high or low ionic conductivity. This classifier is a practical tool to aid experimentalists in prioritizing candidates for further investigation as lithium ion conductors. |

| Title | Accelerated discovery of two new structure types in a complex inorganic phase field |
| Description | Today, we find new materials by systematic experimental investigation of the phases that form by combining the elements. But this is too slow in the face of the vast number of possible materials compositions. "Big data" computational approaches calculate possible materials based on known crystal structures, but can only find analogues, not truly new structures. We have developed a computational tool that combines ab initio prediction with chemical understanding to efficiently direct experimental work into a region of a five-element composition space where two new structures are then found. This approach is applicable to materials discovery across the periodic table, now. |

| Title | Anion compositional diversity reduces bonding dimensionality in the van der Waals semiconductor Bi4O4SeCl2 |
| Description | Making new van der Waals materials with electronic or magnetic functionality is a chemical design challenge for the development of two-dimensional nanoelectronic and energy conversion devices. We present the synthesis and properties of the van der Waals material Bi4O4SeCl2, which is a 1:1 superlattice of the van der Waals insulator BiOCl and the three-dimensionally bonded layered high mobility semiconductor Bi2O2Se. The presence of three anions gives the new structure both the bridging selenide anion sites that connect pairs of Bi2O2 layers in Bi2O2Se and the terminal chloride sites that produce the van der Waals gap in BiOCl. This retains the electronic properties of Bi2O2Se, while reducing the dimensionality of the bonding network connecting the Bi2O2Se units to allow exfoliation of Bi4O4SeCl2 to 1.4 nm height. The superlattice structure is stabilised by the configurational entropy of anion disorder across the terminal and bridging sites. The reduction in bonding dimensionality with retention of electronic functionality stems from the expanded anion compositional diversity. |

| Title | Chemical Control of Correlated Metals as Transparent Conductors |
| Description | Correlated metallic transition metal oxides offer a route to thin film transparent conductors that is distinct from the degenerate doping of broadband wide gap semiconductors. In a correlated metal transparent conductor, interelectron repulsion shifts the plasma frequency out of the visible region to enhance optical transmission, while the high carrier density of a metal retains sufficient conductivity. By exploiting control of the filling, position, and width of the bands derived from the B site transition metal in ABO3 perovskite oxide films, it is shown that pulsed laser deposition-grown films of cubic SrMoO3 and orthorhombic CaMoO3 based on the second transition series cation 4d2 Mo4+ have superior transparent conductor properties to the first transition series 3d1 V4+-based SrVO3. The increased carrier concentration offered by the greater bandfilling in the molybdates gives higher conductivity while retaining sufficient correlation to keep the plasma edge below the visible region. The reduced binding energy of the n = 4 frontier orbitals in the second transition series materials shifts the energies of oxide 2p to metal nd transitions into the near-ultraviolet to enhance visible transparency. The A site size-driven rotation of MoO6 octahedra in CaMoO3 optimizes the balance between Q3 plasma frequency and conductivity for transparent conductor performance. |

| Title | Chemical Control of the Octahedral Network of Solar Absorbers from the CuI-AgI-BiI3 Phase Space via the Discovery of 3D CuAgBiI5 |
| Description | CuAgBiI5 is synthesised as powder, crystals, and thin films. The structure consists of a 3D octahedral Ag+/Bi3+network as in spinel but the tetrahedral interstitials occupied by Cu+ differ from those of a spinel. The 3D octahedral network of CuAgBiI5 allows us to identify a relationship between octahedral site occupancy (composition) and octahedral motif (structure) across the whole CuI-AgI-BiI3 phase field, giving the ability to chemically control structural dimensionality. To investigate composition-structure-property relationships, we explore how the basic optoelectronic properties of CuAgBiI5 compare to those of Cu2AgBiI6 (which has a 2D octahedral network) and reveal a surprisingly low sensitivity towards dimensionality of the octahedral network. The absorption onset of CuAgBiI5 (2.02 eV) barely changes compared with that of Cu2AgBiI6 (2.06 eV) indicating no obvious signs of an increase in charge confinement. Such behaviour contrasts with that for lead halide perovskites which show clear confinement effects upon lowering dimensionality of the octahedral network from 3D to 2D. Changes in PL spectra and lifetimes between the two compounds mostly derive from difference in extrinsic defect densities rather than intrinsic effects. While both materials show good stability, bulk CuAgBiI5 powder samples are found to be more sensitive degradation under solar irradiation compared to Cu2AgBiI6. |

| Title | Computationally-guided discovery of a new compound in the Li-Al-S phase field, Li3AlS3: structure and lithium conductivity |
| Description | With the goal of finding new lithium solid electrolytes by a combined computational-experimental method, the exploration of the Li-Al-O-S phase field resulted in the discovery of a new sulphide Li3AlS3. The structure of the new phase was determined through an approach combining synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction with 6Li and 27Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and revealed a highly ordered cationic polyhedral network within a sulphide anion hcp-type sublattice. The originality of the structure relies on the presence of Al2S6 repeating dimer units consisting of two edge-shared Al tetrahedra. We find that, in this structure type consisting of alternating tetrahedral layers with Li-only polyhedra layers, the formation of these dimers is constrained by the Al/S ratio of 1/3. Moreover, by comparing this structure to similar phases such as Li5AlS4 and Li4.4Al0.2Ge0.3S4 ((Al+Ge)/S = 1/4), we discovered that the AlS4 dimers not only influence atomic displacements and Li polyhedral distortions, but also determine the overall Li polyhedral arrangement within the hcp lattice, leading to the presence of highly ordered vacancies in both the tetrahedral and Li-only layer. AC-impedance measurements revealed a low lithium mobility, which is strongly impacted by the presence of ordered vacancies. Finally, a composition-structure-property relationship understanding was developed to explain the extent of lithium mobility in this structure type. |

| Title | Data for "Bi4O4Cu1.7Se2.7Cl0.3: Intergrowth of BiOCuSe and Bi2O2Se Stabilized by the Addition of a Third Anion" |
| Description | Paper Abstract: Layered two-anion compounds are of interest for their diverse elec-tronic properties. The modular nature of their layered structures offers opportunities for the construction of complex stackings used to introduce or tune functionality, but the accessible layer combina-tions are limited by the crystal chemistries of the available anions. We present a layered three-anion material, Bi4O4Cu1.7Se2.7Cl0.3, which adopts a new structure type composed of alternately stacked BiOCuSe and Bi2O2Se-like units. This structure is accessed by inclusion of three chemically distinct anions, which are accommo-dated by aliovalently substituted Bi2O2Se0.7Cl0.3 blocks coupled to Cu-deficient Bi2O2Cu1.7Se2 blocks, producing a formal charge modulation along the stacking direction. The hypothetical parent phase Bi4O4Cu2Se3 is unstable with respect to its charge-neutral stoichiometric building blocks. The complex layer stacking confers excellent thermal properties upon Bi4O4Cu1.7Se2.7Cl0.3: a room tem-perature thermal conductivity (?) of 0.4(1) W/mK was measured on a pellet with preferred crystallite orientation along the stacking axis, with perpendicular measurement indicating it is also highly aniso-tropic. This ? value lies in the ultra-low regime and is smaller than that of both BiOCuSe and Bi2O2Se. Bi4O4Cu1.7Se2.7Cl0.3 behaves like a charge-balanced semiconductor with a narrow band gap. The chemical diversity offered by the additional anion allows the inte-gration of two common structural units in a single phase by the simultaneous and coupled creation of charge-balancing defects in each of the units.

| Title | Element selection for crystalline inorganic solid discovery guided by unsupervised machine learning of experimentally explored chemistry |
| Description | The selection of the elements to combine delimits the possible outcomes of synthetic chemistry because it determines the range of compositions and structures, and thus properties, that can arise. For example, in the solid state, the elemental components of a phase field will determine the likelihood of finding a new crystalline material. Researchers make these choices based on their understanding of chemical structure and bonding. Extensive data are available on those element combinations that produce synthetically isolable materials, but it is difficult to assimilate the scale of this information to guide selection from the diversity of potential new chemistries. Here, we show that unsupervised machine learning captures the complex patterns of similarity between element combinations that afford reported crystalline inorganic materials. This model guides prioritisation of quaternary phase fields containing two anions for synthetic exploration to identify lithium solid electrolytes in a collaborative workflow that leads to the discovery of Li3.3SnS3.3Cl0.7. The interstitial site occupancy combination in this defect stuffed wurtzite enables a low-barrier ion transport pathway in hexagonal close-packing. |

| Title | Highly Absorbing Lead-Free Semiconductor Cu2AgBiI6 for Photovoltaic Applications from the Quaternary CuI-AgI-BiI3 Phase Space |
| Description | Since the emergence of lead-halide perovskites for photovoltaic research, there has been mounting effort in the search for alternative compounds with improved or complementary physical, chemical or optoelectronic properties. Here, we report the discovery of Cu2AgBiI6; a stable, inorganic, lead-free wide band gap semiconductor, well suited for use in lead-free tandem photovoltaics. We measure a very high absorption coefficient of 1.0 × 105 cm-1 near the absorption onset, several times that of CH3NH3PbI3. Solution-processed Cu2AgBiI6 thin films show a direct band gap of 2.06(1) eV, an exciton binding energy of 25 meV, a substantial charge-carrier mobility (1.7 cm2V-1s-1), long photoluminescence lifetimes (33 ns), and a relatively small Stokes shift between absorption and emission. Crucially, we solve the structure of the first quaternary compound in the phase space between CuI, AgI and BiI3. The structure includes both tetrahedral and octahedral species which are open to compositional tuning and chemical substitution to further enhance properties. As the proposed double perovskite Cs2AgBiI6 thin films have not been synthesized to date, Cu2AgBiI6 is a valuable example of a stable Ag+/Bi3+ octahedral motif in a close-packed iodide sub-lattice that is accessed via the enhanced chemical diversity of the quaternary phase space. |

| Title | Lithium transport in Li4.4M0.4M'0.6S4 (M= Al3+, Ga3+ and M'= Ge4+, Sn4+): Combined crystallographic, conductivity, solid state NMR and computational studies |
| Description | In order to understand the structural and compositional factors controlling lithium transport in sulfides, we explored the Li5AlS4 - Li4GeS4 phase field for new materials. Both parent compounds are defined structurally by a hexagonal close packed sulfide lattice, where distinct arrangements of tetrahedral metal sites give Li5AlS4 a layered structure and Li4GeS4 a three dimensional structure related to ?-Li3PO4. The combination of the two distinct structural motifs is expected to lead to new structural chemistry. We identified the new crystalline phase Li4.4Al0.4Ge0.6S4, and investigated the structure and Li+ ion dynamics of the family of structurally related materials Li4.4M0.4M'0.6S4 (M= Al3+, Ga3+ and M'= Ge4+, Sn4+). We used neutron diffraction to solve the full structures of the Al-homologues, which adopt a layered close-packed structure with a new arrangement of tetrahedral (M/M') sites and a novel combination of ordered and disordered lithium vacancies. AC impedance spectroscopy revealed lithium conductivities in the range 3(2) x 10-6 to 4.3(3) x 10-5 S cm-1 at room temperature with activation energies between 0.43(1) and 0.38(1) eV. Electrochemical performance was tested in a plating and stripping experiment against Li metal electrodes and showed good stability of the Li4.4Al0.4Ge0.6S4 phase over 200 hours. A combination of variable temperature 7Li solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics calculations on selected phases showed that two dimensional diffusion with a low energy barrier of 0.17 eV is responsible for long-range lithium transport, with diffusion pathways mediated by the disordered vacancies while the ordered vacancies do not contribute to the conductivity. This new structural family of sulfide Li+ ion conductors offers insight into the role of disordered vacancies on Li+ ion conductivity mechanisms in hexagonally close packed sulfides that can inform future materials design. |

| Title | Na2Fe2OS2, An Earth Abundant Oxysulphide Cathode Material for Na-ion Batteries |
| Description | Multiple anion chemistry is of particular interest for preparing materials with new structures and exciting physical properties, including energy storage materials. Through careful synthesis optimization, a new Na2Fe2OS2 phase was prepared by two different routes: high temperature solid-state synthesis and simple mechanochemical synthesis. The long-range and local structure of Na2Fe2OS2 was studied by Rietveld refinement of neutron and X-ray diffraction data combined with EXAFS data refinement. The phase comprises an amorphous and a crystalline part which has an anti-K2NiF4 structure, corresponding to the n = 1 member of the homologous anti-Ruddlesden-Popper [AX][ABX3]n series. Its electrochemical properties as a cathode material were studied in Na half cells and Na-ion full cells, revealing that the material becomes fully amorphous upon initial desodiation to Na0.5Fe2OS2, but maintains a reversible capacity of 135 mAh·g-1 in full cells and a good cyclability. The stability of the pristine material and its structural evolution upon charging are discussed, paving the way for further optimization of this material. Being composed exclusively of earth-abundant elements and stable under dry air, Na2Fe2OS2 perfectly illustrates the great opportunity of multiple anion chemistry to explore new structure types and develop better energy storage systems. |

| Title | Self-assembled dynamic perovskite composite cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells |
| Description | Electrode materials for intermediate temperature (500 - 700 °C) solid oxide fuel cells require electrical and mechanical stability to maintain performance during the cell lifetime. This has proven difficult to achieve for many candidate cathode materials and their derivatives with good transport and electrocatalytic properties because of reactivity towards cell components, and the fuels and oxidants. Here we present Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.7Fe0.3)0.6875W0.3125O3-d (BSCFW), a self-assembled composite prepared through simple solid state synthesis, consisting of B-site cation ordered double perovskite and disordered single perovskite oxide phases. These phases interact by dynamic compositional change at the operating temperature, promoting both chemical stability through the increased amount of W in the catalytically active single perovskite provided from the W-reservoir double perovskite, and microstructural stability through reduced sintering of the supported catalytically active phase. This interactive catalyst-support system enabled stable high electrochemical activity through the synergic integration of the distinct properties of the two phases. |

| Title | The raw data of paper titled 'High-performance protonic ceramics fuel cell cathode using protophillic mixed ion and electron conducting material'' |
| Description | The raw data of paper titled 'High-performance protonic ceramics fuel cell cathode using protophillic mixed ion and electron conducting material', the raw data includes the XRD, I11, TGA and electrochemical property measurement Abstract: Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) are attractive energy conversion devices for low-temperature operation (400-600 °C), however wide application of PCFCs requires new high-performance electrode and electrolyte materials. Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.7Fe0.3O3-d (BSCF) was considered as a promising candidate for PCFC cathode, however, the chemical instability of BSCF under operating conditions and its poor compatibility with electrolyte materials have limited its application. Based on our previous study on a self-assembled nanocomposite perovskite, Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.7Fe0.3)0.6875W0.3125O3-d (BSCFW), here we report the electrochemical and protonic properties of BSCFW considered as a PCFC cathode material. BSCFW shows favourable thermodynamic and kinetic protonic behaviour, and the BSCFW single cell presents an excellent non-ohmic resistance of 0.172 O cm2 at 600 °C. Our comprehensive characterization of the protonic properties of BSCFW provides that our previous findings on phase-separation of BSCFW enables to use BSCF as a PCFC cathode by interplay of mixed-phase through W-doping and it provides important background for the systematic development of PCFC cathodes. |

| Description | The raw data of paper titled 'Enhanced Long-term Cathode Stability by Tuning Interfacial Nanostructures for Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells ' which is going to be submitted to journal Advanced Materials and provide data availability. This document may include area-specific-resistance (ASR), Thermal Extension Coefficient (TEC), Thermo Gravimetric AnalyzerTGA and Diffraction measurement results. Abstract : Performance durability is one of the essential requirements for solid oxide fuel cells materials operatinged at in the intermediate temperature range (500-700 °C). However, tThe incompatibility of trade-off between the desirable catalysis activity and long-term stability challenges the development and commercialization of most electrode materials. Here we report an oxygen electrode material, Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.7Fe0.3)0.69-xMgxW0.31O3-d (BSCFW-xMg), that achieves exhibits both excellent electro-catalytic and transport properties, and alongside long-term stability. We improveretard the The resistance degradation rate is reduced by 10 an order of magnitude times over current state- of- the- art materials through the addition of a small an optimized amount Mg to multi-phase, nano-structured Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.7Fe0.3)0.69W0.31O3-d (BSCFW) by simple solid state reaction. The Mg2+ ions decorate enrich at the single perovskite -/ double perovskite interface of BSCFW with dislocations and Mg2+-rich thin nanolayers of nanometers thickness, creating a stressed and charged region that may prevent Ba/Sr's segregation during operation over extended times. By capitalizing on the interface and strain effects in a multi-phase composite material, a new strategy of for tackling modifying the instability of existing unstable best-class cathode materials is proposed. here as well as with the simultaneous discovery of finding new compositions of cathode materials. |

| Company Name | CAGECAPTURE LIMITED |
| Description | Formaldehyde is often released as a pollutant from building materials such as paint and plasterboard, as well as many other household products. It is believed to cause various health problems and is classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen by WHO. The current leading technology for removing formaldehyde is activated carbon adsorption, which has low capture capacity and poor selectivity. A new cage molecule solid was designed and synthesised, that act like a 'cage prison' and can capture low concentration pollutants using a combination of chemical and physical adsorption. The patented technology has been proven to efficiently capture the most common indoor air pollutant, formaldehyde, at both high and low levels and even in humid conditions. CageCapture Ltd (CCL, https://cagecapture.com/), co-founded by the inventors, was formed in December 2019 to commercialise this new cage-based material. This technology was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's First Prize in their 2016 Emerging Technologies Competition. In 2019, CageCapture Ltd has been awarded a total of £298,754 funding via Innovate UK with matched funding from the University's Enterprise Investment Fund, through the Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) 'follow on funding' competition. The Innovate UK funding will be used to develop an in-house formaldehyde testing facility to validate the new technology and to explore other applications for the new technology including different pollutants. |
| Year Established | 2019 |
| Impact | To date, CageCapture has demonstrated that the Cage molecule can be formulated into industrially compatible coating processes for existing air filter production lines, providing an immediate performance uplift, with minimal integration. Materials have already been released to early customers as part of market testing. The resultant test data from several leading players in the chemical and filtration sectors has been positive, with strong expressions of interest for Joint Development Programmes and sample requests. |

| Company Name | Porous Liquid Technologies Ltd |
| Description | Porous liquids-liquids with permanent holes in them-are a fundamentally new and counterintuitive state of matter, first described in 2015 in a joint Nature paper co-authored by researchers at Queen's University of Belfast and the University of Liverpool. This attracted much interest from academic teams and the media worldwide. Porous Liquid Technologies Ltd (PLT) was formed in July 2017 by the inventors to commercialise these materials (http://www.porousliquidtechnologies.com). The first porous liquids were hard to scale up, involving both complex chemistry and toxic solvents. Since 2015, we have solved both of those problems. Our most recent liquids have porosities of around 20%; a huge increase compared to our first-generation materials, opening up a range of applications. PLT has five directors - Prof. Stuart James (Belfast), Prof. Andrew Cooper (Liverpool), Dr Barry Murrer (ex Johnson Matthey), Mr David Moore (QUBIS) and Mr David James. |
| Year Established | 2017 |
| Impact | The company is in discussion with a number of potential commercial partners in sectors spanning oil and gas, catalysis, and food and drink. |

Due to COVID restrictions it had to be run online and because of demand we ran it twice first time for 28 international researchers, second time for 31 participants, where the numbers were limited by the number of developers available to coach in the hands-on tutorial sessions. Participants came from 14 different countries and 33 different organizations. From this we have developed one close collaboration, and hope to have others using our codes in future releases. |
