HCHO Research Studies

Studies of the measurement cycle, prefilter selectivity, cartridge operation, and molecular binding. Follow the question, approach, and progress of each investigation.

4 studies

  1. R01

    Planned

    Summary updated

    Measurement and recovery cycle

    When should a formaldehyde estimate be reported, and how much recovery time is needed before the next measurement?

    Method · Dynamic modeling & classical machine learning

  2. R02

    Planned

    Summary updated

    Water and prefilter selectivity

    How does water affect the relative binding of formaldehyde and ethanol on functionalized carbon prefilter models?

    Method · Density functional theory (DFT) on classical computers

  3. R03

    Planned

    Summary updated

    Cartridge flow and service life

    Under which flow, humidity, and loading conditions can a cartridge retain ethanol while allowing formaldehyde to reach the sensor?

    Method · Transport & competitive adsorption modeling

  4. R04

    Planned

    Summary updated

    Molecular binding on IBM Quantum

    Can a physical IBM quantum processor distinguish the binding of formaldehyde and ethanol to a model prefilter site?

    Method · Classical preparation & IBM Quantum hardware

Studies and system validation

The validation plan does not require every study to be completed in full. Each milestone depends on the research inputs, evidence, and readiness checks required by that plan.
