Advanced materials characterization has become a critical requirement for emerging breakthroughs in water quality monitoring and treatment. In this proposal, Drs Gagnon, Dasog, and Stoddart have developed a collaborative approach to understand water infrastructure and develop new materials for water technology. This synergistic collaboration across research teams is seeking funding for a powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) system, a powerful non-destructive technology that utilizes a monochromatic beam of X-rays to characterize crystalline materials. This instrument is required for the characterization of crystalline materials of corroded drinking water pipes, plasmonic nanomaterials that will be used in microbiological research, and photoanodes for water treatment. This instrument will be used immediately by more than 15 HQP in their labs. As well, this equipment will provide an extensive range of capabilities for water quality research that involves existing collaborative partnerships with the water industry.

先进的材料表征已成为水质监测和处理领域新突破的关键要求。 在这份提案中，Gagnon、Dasog和Stoddart博士开发了一种合作方法，以了解水基础设施并开发水技术的新材料。这种跨研究团队的协同合作正在为粉末X射线衍射（XRD）系统寻求资金，这是一种强大的非破坏性技术，利用单色X射线束来表征晶体材料。该仪器用于表征腐蚀的饮用水管道的晶体材料、将用于微生物研究的等离子体纳米材料以及用于水处理的光阳极。 该仪器将立即被超过15名HQP在其实验室中使用。此外，该设备将为水质研究提供广泛的能力，涉及与水行业的现有合作伙伴关系。
