Urgent Replacement of a Platform for Gaseous Chemistry and Catalysis

气体化学对催化、分子合成、电化学和环境科学至关重要。NSERC RTI赠款要求用升级和现代化的平台替换已停用的HCube，这对11名主要研究人员的资助研究至关重要。迫切需要所要求的平台来取代涉及新型治疗剂，催化剂，诊断剂，电解质和先进材料的CO2捕获和转化计划中的关键工具。原子经济和环境友好的气体使用对于可持续的分子合成，当代制药生产和可持续发展驱动的研究至关重要，用于隔离和应用气体，如N2，CO2，CO和N2 O，以应对污染，气候变化和化石燃料依赖的全球挑战。所要求的HGenie/Phoenix平台将能够仔细监测和操纵气体，由于爆炸风险和安全问题，这些气体一直具有挑战性。所要求的现代化仪器促进了在精确控制压力、温度和浓度等关键变量的情况下安全地进行气体气氛化学的有效手段，以实现催化反应的优化和可持续合成工艺的有效放大。气体化学和催化平台迫切需要彻底改变我们进行气体化学和催化的能力，培训HQP并在加拿大科学杰出领导者的实验室中进行高影响力的研究。

The chemistry of gases is critical for catalysis, molecular synthesis, electrochemistry and environmental science. The NSERC RTI grant requests a replacement of a defunct HCube with an upgraded and modernized platform that is critical for the funded research of the 11 Principal Investigators. The requested platform is urgently needed to replace a pivotal tool in programs involving novel therapeutics, catalysts, diagnostics, electrolytes and advanced materials for CO2 capture and conversion. Atom economical and environmentally benign uses of gases is imperative for sustainable molecular synthesis, contemporary pharmaceutical production and sustainability-driven research for sequestering and applying gasses, such as N2, CO2, CO, and N2O to address global challenges of pollution, climate change and fossil fuel dependence. The requested HGenie/Phoenix platform will enable careful monitoring and manipulation of gases that has been traditionally challenging due to risks of explosion and safety concerns. The requested modern instrumentation promotes an effective means for safely performing chemistry with gaseous atmospheres under precise control of critical variables such as pressure, temperature and concentration to enable optimization of catalytic reactions and effective scale-up of sustainable synthetic processes. The Platform for Gaseous Chemistry and Catalysis is urgently needed to revolutionize our ability to perform gaseous chemistry and catalysis, train HQP and perform high-impact research in the laboratories of distinguished leaders in Canadian science.
