Infrastructure for electrochemical materials acceleration platforms

EF 2020-21 · 2020-12-01

Résumé
The Electrochemical Material Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) Project will build an infrastructure to support the accelerated discovery and characterization of new materials in the area of electrocatalysis. Specifically, MAPs couples three leading edge technologies (artificial intelligence (AI), smart robotics, and high performance computing). During the Project, two MAPs will be developed. One will be used for sol-gel synthesis and the other for organic electrochemistry. Each will allow rapid characterization using both physical and electrochemical methods. Each of the MAPs will facilitate high-throughput experimentation that will lead to accelerated materials discovery of catalysts that can be used in technologies developed to produce clean fuels and reduce GHG emissions. The MAPs infrastructure will become part of a network of diverse MAPs, each being developed for different purposes but intended to be complimentary and used for collaborative research and discovery of materials.

Description (French)
Le projet de plateformes d’accélération des matériaux électrochimiques permettra de construire une infrastructure pour soutenir la découverte accélérée et la caractérisation rapide de nouveaux matériaux dans le domaine de l’électrocatalyse. Plus précisément, ces plateformes allient trois technologies de pointe (l’intelligence artificielle, la robotique intelligente et le calcul haute performance). Deux plateformes seront mises au point. L’une sera utilisée pour la synthèse sol-gel et l’autre sera utilisée pour l’électrochimie organique. Chacune permettra une caractérisation rapide à l’aide de méthodes physiques et électrochimiques. Chacune des plateformes facilitera l’expérimentation à haut débit pour accélérer la découverte de matériaux et de catalyseurs utilisables dans les technologies développées pour produire des carburants propres et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES). L’infrastructure des plateformes s’intégrera à un réseau constitué de diverses plateformes, chacune étant conçue à des fins différentes, mais complémentaires, et utilisées pour la recherche collaborative et la découverte de matériaux.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
