Welcome to the Neyhouse Research Group at the University of Toronto! We are electrochemical engineers working to intensify and scale electrochemical processes.
Electrochemistry offers a new paradigm for chemical engineering, as reactions can be performed under mild conditions with renewable electricity. Indeed, a diverse array of electrochemical transformations can be achieved at the lab-scale in batch quantities, however the transition to high throughput, continuous modes of operation requires judicious reactor engineering, sometimes deviating from traditional process design rules. To enable the next generation of sustainable chemical manufacturing, our group leverages fundamental chemical and electrochemical engineering principles to design and intensify electrosynthetic processes.Â
