Risk of skidding: What is the impact of connected cars on consumers?

Symposium: personal finances and vulnerability to crises

The Project seeks to develop a combined high-throughput experimental and density functional theory workflow that is informed by artificial intelligence to discover novel high entropy oxide oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. Unique powder synthesis and characterization capabilities to systematically discover new earth abundant, high activity, acid stable catalysts comparable to the current state of the art will be developed. Computational tools will be used to systematically explore the stability and catalytic activity of compositionally diverse catalysts and elucidate the mechanism of high performing materials. The experimental and computational data will be combined into a common database along with the associated meta-data and descriptors, which will be used to train artificial intelligence models to guide subsequent exploration. Promising materials will be optimized and characterized in full electrolyzer stacks. All data and code generated through this program will be released publicly to benefit all Canadians.

Aiming to circumvent reliance on precious Ir-based OER catalysts used in
polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers for green hydrogen
production, this Project will discover highly active and stable Ir-free acidic
OER electrocatalysts. Their reaction mechanism and degradation pattern
operating under industrially relevant conditions will be investigated. Different
parameters in catalysts preparation including annealing temperature, feeding
ratios, reaction time, and reaction approaches will be explored to study their
correlation with the electrocatalytic performance. Spectroscopic tools at
different dimension scales involving Raman, Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and differential
electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) will be carried out to study the
lattice structure, coordination environment, valence state evolution and
overall mechanism of the catalysts during the electrolysis at working
conditions. The Project will also attempt to cross-validate density functional
theory (DFT) modelling with experimental results to explore the proposed
working/degradation mechanism and optimize the lattice structure and
exposed facets of the electrocatalysts.

Hiring of a mechanical engineering graduate with a management orientation for exoskeleton business development.

Development of a range of agglomerated hen manure-based fertilizer products to meet the needs of residential, commercial and agricultural customers.

Vanmok provides cost-effective, cloud-based leak detection technology (Vanmok LD Cloud) for short segment lateral pipelines in midstream and for deployments in gathering pipelines, emulsion pipelines, and saltwater pipeline networks in upstream sectors. Another product, Vanmok LD Studio is a multi-layer pipeline monitoring system using the extended real-time transient model for leak detection in long-distance pipelines especially carrying high dense phase fluids. Vanmok would like to hire a youth staff to help with the development of Front End Software for Vanmok products. This will be an excellent opportunity for youth staff to be involved in cutting-edge technology while applying software development principles.
