This proposal presents unique approaches for the characterization of charged interfaces and interfacial phenomena at the nanoscale in ionic liquid (IL) media, through the implementation of innovative, quantitative high resolution scanning probe (electrochemical) microscopy techniques. The overarching goal is to introduce new methodology that will enable a comprehensive understanding of interfacial phenomena in these neoteric solvents and bring major new insights on the functional properties of surfaces and nanomaterials. The scientific scope of this project involves: (i) the characterization and mapping of the electrical double layer at IL/electrode interfaces; (ii) visualization of reactivity at the nanoscale using functional imaging techniques and; (iii) single-entity electrochemistry in ILs, from individual nanoparticles (NPs) to single molecules. The reactivity mapping and single NP studies will focus on assessing the electrocatalytic activity of novel nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, nanotubes, metal and metal-oxide NPs) towards the hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions, which are of fundamental and technological (e.g., fuel cells, lithium-air batteries, water splitting etc.) importance. The research proposal is highly interdisciplinary, and there is a natural synergistic fit between the Fellow’s profile and activities at the Host Warwick group. The proposal draws on Fellow’s strong background in electrochemistry, particularly his expertise in applying ILs in fundamental and applied electrochemical research, which will be married with the world-leading research on innovative nanoscale electrochemical imaging techniques developed at Warwick. With considerable support and world-class expertise from the Host group and its collaborators, this project will provide the applicant, Dr. Cameron Bentley, with an outstanding opportunity to develop personally and professionally, by pioneering a new area of research in a new geographic location.

Solid state lead halide perovskites have recently emerged as the latest thin-film photovoltaic device class. High power conversion efficiencies (22 %) and stabilities (> 1000 hours at 80 ˚C under 1 sun illumination) have been obtained using lab scale processes and small area cells (<1cm2). The building blocks of the perovskite materials are very low cost and the processing into the final perovskite thin-film can be achieved with low temperature fast processes. This makes these materials very cost efficient, and promises to deliver a future PV technology with a levelled cost of electricity (LCOE) below that of existing mainstream PV. There has been much advancement with combining perovskite with silicon cells, to deliver a “tandem” junction cell with much higher efficiency than either sub-cell. Although this perovskite-on-silicon approach is likely to deliver the first perovskite PV products, it restricts the manufacturing and module format to wafer based, and hence misses out on the real promise of ultimate high volume manufacturing via large area sheet-to-sheet or reel-to-reel coating. Within PERTPV we will advance the perovskite thin-film PV technology to the next level by undertaking a “double pronged” drive on both performance (efficiency and stability) and the development of scalable device and module fabrication methodologies, compatible with high volume manufacturing. Our consortium consists of the leading academic groups in perovskite PV research, in addition to research companies, and 3 commercial partners at appropriately complementary stages in the value chain (Technology driver, materials supplier and equipment supplier). In addition to our ambitions target of surpassing 30% power conversion efficiency in a thin film all-perovskite tandem cell, and delivering a certifiably stable module technology, we will also perform full life cycle analysis and ensure a safe means to undertake mass deployment and recycling of the Perovskite PV modules.

The main objective of the iDev40 project proposal is to achieve a disruptive or “breakthrough change” step toward speedup in time to market by digitalising the European industry, closely interlinking development processes, logistics and manufacturing. Ultimately, the project aims at suitable digital technology advancements to strengthen the electronic components and systems industry in Europe. It addresses various industrial domains with one and the same approach of digitalisation towards competitive and innovative solutions. The new concept of introducing seamlessly integrated development together with automation and network solutions as well as enhancing the transparency of data, their consistence, flexibility and overall efficiency will lead to a significant speedup in the time to market (T2M) race. iDev40’s unique approach addresses: • AI learning, Data Life Cycle Management and IP Protection • Embedding Digital Development in Digital Production (the digital twin) • Close the Knowledge loop in product life cycle management along the supply chain • Collaboration 4.0 and Development of highly skilled R&D and Manufacturing Teams • Prove the innovated technologies on selected use cases in real productive environment Progress in mastering these challenges will significantly impact the productivity of future design processes embedded in an Industrial Internet environment. The global state-of-art technologies already offer tremendous diagnostics algorithms, machine controls, simulators, optimizers, etc., but only an extensive framework like iDev40 can combine them into effective integration into the development process enabling such powerful simulations like “digital twins” that ever more govern the hardware, manufacturing service and business functions. To cope with the exceptional complexity it becomes even more crucial to be competitive leaders in developing virtual representations of real physical implementation.

We have 20+ years’ experience working with precision mechanics for several industries. We have a number of own developments and products including patents for knitting machines. Based on our experience with knitting machines we have developed (and patented) the ClosedToe technology and have installed it on 50 circular knitting machines. Our ClosedToe solution allows the retrofitting of circular knitting machines with a device which folds the toe part of the sock together so it can be sewn together with the same machine. As a result, existing machines can be converted easily to become an all-in-one machine eliminating the need for a linking machine and manual labour. At present we have developed the ClosedToe solution for one brand to be used in two of their machines, but to reach commercial success we need to adapt it to the most common brands and types of circular knitting machines used by the industry. The aim of the ClosedToe Phase 1 project is to carry out an extensive market research and identify the most commonly used knitting machines by the industry and conclude a market entry and commercialisation strategy. During the Phase 2 development we will develop the ClosedToe solution for the identified machine types and enter the market according to the predefined strategy. The potential impact of this development is huge in the long term, but even in the short term we see that the ClosedToe technology will generate a significant profit 3 years after the development is completed. We have wide range of networks (over 50 past customers) and based on feedback from our flagship partners there is a significant need for our innovation. This gives us the perfect platform to commercialise our new technology.

The invention of processes that can form several bonds, stereocentres and rings in a single process is key to a sustainable future in synthetic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions and tandem procedures are two strategies that enable the rapid build-up of molecular complexity from simple reagents. By combining these two strategies into a single procedure, the diversity, complexity and value of products can be further enhanced along with the efficiency and economy of their construction. In this project, Dr Satpathi will develop novel copper-catalyzed multicomponent couplings of unsaturated hydrocarbons (e.g. allenes, enynes) with imines and boron reagents. These procedures will provide high-value amine products with universally high regio-, diastero- and enantiocontrol. The products will bear a variety of synthetic handles, for example, amino, alkynyl/alkenyl, and boryl groups, thus the products are primed for subsequent transformation. Dr Satpathi will exploit this functionality in tandem intramolecular couplings (e.g. intramolecular Suzuki/Buchwald-Hartwig reactions) to provide core cyclic structures of drug molecules and natural products. Thus, through a tandem procedure of; 1) copper-catalyzed borofunctionalization, and; 2) subsequent transition-metal catalyzed cyclization, he will gain efficient access to highly sought-after complex molecules. Overall, the process will provide high-value, chiral, cyclic motifs from abundant, achiral, linear substrates. Finally, Dr Satpathi has identified the phthalide-isoquinoline family of alkaloids as target molecules to display the power of his tandem methodology. Dr Satpathi has devised a novel route, which begins with our tandem multifunctionalization/cyclization reaction, to provide a range of these important alkaloids. The chosen alkaloids are of particular interest as they display a range of bioactivities – for example as natural products, receptor antagonists and on-market drugs.

The study of the neutrino properties and interactions has been key in the development of the Standard Model of fundamental interactions and it is providing first clues on the understanding of its deeper foundations. In this aspect the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector (ICRR, U. Tokyo, Japan) for many years has played a crucial role. It contributed to the discovery of oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos, thus establishing their 'massive' character. Because of this discovery, Takaaki Kajita, the “person in charge of this proposal” from our main Third Country partner ICRR, was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015. With SK2HK we aim to continue the very successful SKPLUS, through extension of participation of European institutes in the state-of-the-art experimental program related to the SK, the SK-Gd and the Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) experiments. We want to gain insight and even discover the hypothesized charge-parity violation in the leptonic sector with SK and the future HK. We want to discover the "Diffuse Neutrino Supernova Background" with SK-Gd and to explore in depth the Grand Unification with SK and the future HK. Those measurements are key to the complete understanding of the most fundamental concepts of Physics. An important aspect of this proposal is significant amount of hardware R&D related to HK, especially given the decision to start HK construction in 2020. Timely finalization of these activities is crucial to the success of HK and requires even closer cooperation with our partners. Given the uniqueness of the technologies that are being developed, it is efficient to do some work at the location where most of the infrastructure needed for the R&D is. In this project those are the ICRR of the Univ. of Tokyo and the TRIUMF laboratory in Canada, as well as several European laboratories, incl. the applying institutions. The proposed secondment program offers a unique opportunity to fulfill these goals while working with World leading experts.

The construction sector, currently in crises in some countries due to the economic development model adopted during last decades, can again play an important role for the European economy to be more innovative by using fewer resources (raw materials and energy) and reducing environmental impact (emission of greenhouse gases and dust pollution). Access to raw materials and resource efficiency are at the forefront of the EU political debate and recycling is a main part of the solution of many strategic objectives. It addresses resource scarcity and enhances security of material supply, while contributing to higher energy efficiency and lower environmental impacts. Moreover, recycling offers significant investment, innovation and employment opportunities in the EU. In this context, this RISE programme aims to promote international and inter-sector collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, share knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa) for the advancement of science and the development of innovation within the recycling and valorization of mining and quarrying wastes which represent 27% of the EU total waste generated from economic activities and households, promote utilization of innovative geopolymeric materials in the construction sector, and foster a shared culture of research and innovation that welcomes and rewards creativity and entrepreneurship and helps turn creative ideas into innovative products, services or processes in the materials industry through recycling mining wastes, by taking advantage of the integrated knowledge acquired in the complementary areas of the RISE partners. In this scenario, this RISE action aims at taking advantage of the recent developments in the areas of materials science, processing engineering, structural engineering, infrastructure systems, arts and design and market perspectives, turning mining waste into valuable materials for infrastructure and building products.
