Congratulations to @JoshuaAWicks @SintonLab @NUANCEcenter @HUST @AucklandUni et al. on today's @Nature article reporting 91% faradaic efficiency CO to acetate. A highlight: 820-hour operation of the reactor. bit.ly/3oZFLrm @NUChemistry @NorthwesternEng @CanLightSource

Take a look at our work - we used scalable milling to synthesize tailored nano catalysts for green hydrogen production at industrial conditions. @AdvSciNews @uoftmse @Sargent_Group @McMasterEng @queensu @CanLightSource @advancedphoton @NSERC_CRSNG onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Cu electrocatalysts can reduce CO2, but selectively achieving one product is difficult. Congrats to Prof Sargent and team for their work introducing Au to Cu catalysts to improve CO2 electroreduction to CH4! @Sargent_Group @tedsargentTO @JoshuaAWicks nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congrats Erick et al. on today's @ScienceMagazine! Among the milestones is single-pass #CO2 utilization of 77% while making majority C2 products. Thank you @TotalEnergies @SintonLab @FengwangLi @garciadearquer and @UofT for this account of the advance bit.ly/3yZIpxM

Everything from your new wheels to your shampoo has this basic building block — ethylene! And Carbon XPRIZE Finalist @CO2CERT has found a way to create it and save the planet. Will they take home the $7.5M Grand Prize? Find out April 19th: bit.ly/2OEwXpc #CarbonTech

It was a joy to work on this inter-disciplinary project with my collaborators at @Livermore_Lab to find new insights on the influence of the gas diffusion layer in CO2 electroreduction product selectivity. Looking forward to future opportunities to work together!

@CO2CERT @UofT @uoftengineering @Sargent_Group @SintonLab

Such an amazing experience working with CERT in Calgary for the past 5 months. In this project, we have scaled up our technology more than 1000x to convert CO2 emissions into valuable chemicals. Very excited to hear the results of our hard work in the Carbon XPRIZE competition!

The view from our @CO2CERT site today in Calgary was spectacular! Working with @Xprize @nrgenergy together to cut CO2 emissions so next generations can simply enjoy such beautiful views in the future.

Bazylak and co-workers @UofTMIE use x-ray imaging to monitor bubble formation during CO2 electroreduction. This paper is first in the #Electrosynthesis special issue, guest edited by @SmithElectroLab and @lnce_epfl. Stay tuned! bit.ly/3fwdLST Editor: @michmuzz

@YCL_Lab @UBChemistry Congratulations, Chris! Well deserved!

Hello World! I am beyond excited to announce that I will be starting my independent career @UBChemistry this fall. Huge thanks to everyone that has supported me along the way. Can't wait for the new adventure ahead!

I STOPPED THE CAR AND WEPT LAST NIGHT. It was after midnight. I was driving home from another 18 hour day at @SinaiHealth + @UHN and then i saw this. THANK YOU to my @CityofToronto and its citizens for these #ActsofLove that are keeping its #frontline health workers going.

Speaking to the @UofT student chapter of @SPEtweets about CO2 conversion technologies and @CO2CERT ‘s journey through the Carbon @XPrize competition! Thanks to @OilGasCanada for connecting us!

Electrochemical CO2 reduction on nanostructured metal electrodes: fact or defect? Check out this awesome Minireview from @SmithElectroLab if you're interested to find out more about how surface area and catalyst thickness affects performance! rsc.li/3a14lLL

Bridging the gap between theory and experiments — I really enjoy reading works from the @KarenKWChan group like this!

Very thankful to work with such a great team!
