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.

气体化学对于催化、分子合成、电化学和环境科学至关重要。 NSERC RTI 拨款要求用升级和现代化的平台替换已失效的 HCube，这对于 11 名首席研究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二氧化碳捕获和转化的新型疗法、催化剂、诊断、电解质和先进材料的项目中的关键工具。气体的原子经济和环境友好的使用对于可持续分子合成、当代药物生产和可持续驱动的研究至关重要，以隔离和应用气体（例如 N2、CO2、CO 和 N2O）来应对污染、气候变化和化石燃料等全球挑战燃料依赖。所要求的 HGenie/Phoenix 平台将能够对气体进行仔细的监测和操作，而这在传统上由于爆炸风险和安全问题而具有挑战性。所需的现代仪器提供了一种有效的方法，可以在精确控制压力、温度和浓度等关键变量的情况下，在气态气氛中安全地进行化学反应，从而优化催化反应并有效扩大可持续合成工艺的规模。迫切需要气体化学和催化平台来彻底改变我们进行气体化学和催化、培训 HQP 以及在加拿大科学界杰出领袖的实验室中进行高影响力研究的能力。
