Green chemistry

Using chemistry to create community-tailored clean energy tools | Professor Dwight Seferos’s on CANSTOREnergy $24M government grant

May 23, 2023

Professor Dwight Seferos is part of the CANSTOREnergy research project led by Professor David Sinton. Recently, the team received $24M through the federal New Frontiers in Research Fund’s 2022 Transformation Competition.

PhD candidate Francisco Yarur Villanueva aims to practice and promote green chemistry

May 17, 2023

“Imagine you’re baking a cake,” says Francisco Yarur Villanueva, a PhD candidate in the Department of Chemistry.

Geoffrey Ozin: Are we dehumanizing chemistry?

June 25, 2020

A new paradigm is emerging in the way materials are discovered on a computer and made in the laboratory. Computational searches can now be designed to aid the experimental discovery stage of a new material with a designated set of properties considered ideal for a particular application.

Andy Dicks: "It’s not hard being green"

February 12, 2020

Andy Dicks, Professor and Undergraduate Chair in the department of chemistry, is featured by the Chemical institute of Canada this month where he shares the story of how he helped start a green chemistry culture at the University of Toronto.

Geoffrey Ozin: 'How can we finance a net-zero economy?'

January 31, 2020

Professor Geoffrey Ozin writes in Advanced Science News this month, exploring the simple question: how can we finance a net-zero economy?

Oil-adsorbing sponge could prevent environmental contamination

December 16, 2019

U of T researchers partnering with the Ozin Group have developed a new strategy to remove tiny oil droplets from wastewater with more than 90% efficiency, in just 10 minutes. Their secret weapon: a sponge.

Myrna Simpson using tiny water fleas for pollution detection

December 03, 2019

Researchers at U of T Scarborough are developing an early warning system for water quality and pollution that combines tiny water fleas and an instrument so sensitive it’s able to detect changes at the molecular level.

Geoffrey Ozin suggests a 'whale' of a solution to climate change

October 09, 2019

Strategies to enhance the carbon capacity of the terrestrial and oceanic sinks tend to focus on landscapes – forest canopy, soil composition, and sea water chemistry.

However, we must not neglect the role of animals in maintaining the natural carbon cycle.

SF6 worries: The most potent and persistent greenhouse gas

September 23, 2019

It is not well known, but the most potent greenhouse gas is, surprisingly, neither carbon dioxide nor methane, but a colorless, odorless, and inert gas known as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).

Oleksandr Voznyy's Clean Energy Lab receives Canada Foundation for Innovation funding

September 06, 2019

Professor Oleksandr Voznyy is one of 32 U of T faculty members who are sharing $9.1 million in federal funding via the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s John R. Evans Leaders Fund.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
