Grants and Contributions

Grant as part of the Participant Funding Program to Montana First Nation to assist in preparing for and engaging in Indigenous consultation activities and public participation opportunities associated with the assessment process for the Cando Sturgeon Rail Terminal West Expansion Project.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

Building on the successful demonstration of a compact and low-cost terahertz (THz) spectrometer capable of generating and detecting frequencies from 0.3 to 6 THz, this project will combine this small footprint configuration with a recently demonstrated sensitive THz detection technique based on nonlinear optics, spectral filtering and single-photon detection. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate an ultra-sensitive photonics?based wireless receiver that operates at frequencies above 0.3 THz to enable short- to medium-range 6G communication speeds and beyond. Patterned phase gratings on nonlinear crystals will be incorporated into the design of the detection system, maximizing the collection efficiency of the THz radiation. A demonstrator of a sensitive and compact THz receiver is anticipated to take place at the end of this project. Additionally, with the University of Ottawa’s industry partner, the project will determine how to most efficiently take this technology to market

Development of high voltage cathode materials based on layered oxides and spinels Project Description Summary: The project will develop new high voltage cathode materials above 4V that contain Ni as the main element to identify a new chemistry for a cathode material produced for industry relevant validation (gram → kilogram), and identify, synthesize and preliminary test LiNi1-xMxO2 cathode materials with single and multi “M” dopants: • Gram-scale synthesis, electrochemical techniques, advanced structural materials characterization and preliminary battery performance to understand the materials structure/property/performance relationships. • Choose materials using MAP and density functional theory modeling, preliminarily predict the most plausible material chemistry and structure for next steps, and evaluate the new materials feasibility for scalability and potential market penetration. • Validate results using advanced and operando electrochemical techniques and scale up materials synthesis gram → kilogram. • Investigate up to three battery chemistry generations with a feedback loop based on the above analysis, material characterization and battery performance and modify materials coating with protective layers and enhanced electrolyte formulations
