Real-time monitoring of catalysis/catalyst in-situ and -operando
We have developed a novel extension of electrochemistry that enables real-time monitoring of catalysis/catalyst in-situ and -operando. As a demonstration, we have used Ag as a catalyst and monitored breakdown of H2O2. Our method/apparatus enables for the first time real time kinetics measurements of various intermediate Ag-oxygen species that are formed and consumed as products are formed. This is a platform method/apparatus that can be used to advance catalyst develop efficiently.
About University of Toronto
The University of Toronto is a comprehensive public research university with three campuses in the Toronto region and a globally scaled research enterprise. Its downtown footprint is embedded within a major academic health network and an adjacent innovation district, enabling co-located labs, clinical trials, and rapid testing with end users. Companies connect through co-op and long-duration internships, sponsored research, and access to shared core facilities and prototyping resources. Research is supported by Canada’s Tri‑Agency (NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC) and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, alongside provincial programs and industry partnerships. A dedicated technology transfer office provides IP management, licensing, and startup support through a coordinated entrepreneurship network.
