“…[344] The same authors reported on the successful use of semi-automated evolutionary strategies (ES) to optimize a selective epoxidation catalyst for cyclohexene ( Figure 39) [345] as well as the strategy and results of a search for a new catalyst for the isomerization of light olefins. This latter study was driven by a genetic algorithm (GA) and resulted in interesting conclusions on the effect of calcination temperatures on the formation of tungsten-based acid sites and the disappearance of sulfur-based acid sites in mixed WO x /ZrO 2 systems.…”

There is increasing acceptance of high-throughput technologies for the discovery, development, and optimization of materials and catalysts in industry. Over the years, the relative synchronous development of technologies for parallel synthesis and characterization has been accompanied by developments in associated software and information technologies. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the art of the field by selected examples. Technologies developed to aid research on complex materials are covered as well as databases, design of experiment, data-mining technologies, modeling approaches, and evolutionary strategies for development. Different methods for parallel synthesis provide single sample libraries, gradient libraries for electronic or optical materials, similar to polymers and catalysts, and products produced through formulation strategies. Many examples illustrate the variety of isolated solutions and document the barely recognized variety of new methods for the synthesis and analysis of almost any material. The Review ends with a summary of success stories and statements on still-present problems and future tasks.

“… 1 , 2 While the past two decades have produced a wave of new catalyst materials including hierarchical zeolites, 3 metal-organic frameworks, 4 single-atom surfaces, 5 intermetallic structures, 6 and other low-dimensional materials, 7 testing these catalysts to determine structure-performance relationships requires researchers to work in close proximity. Such in-person catalytic performance evaluation tends to be a multi-step process whereby the traditional approaches have involved qualitative screening techniques 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 in search for the “best” catalyst for the envisioned application, followed by kinetic interrogations of the shortlisted catalysts to establish reactivity, selectivity, and stability trends and subsequent detailed mechanistic inquiries into reaction pathways. 9 , 12 To continue this effective general approach to assessing materials performance, laboratory operations must transition to more automated methods requiring only minimal manual intervention.…”

This work describes the design and implementation of an automated device for catalytic materials testing by direct modifications to a gas chromatograph (GC). The setup can be operated as a plug-flow isothermal reactor and enables the control of relevant parameters such as reaction temperature and reactant partial pressures directly from the GC. High-quality kinetic data (including reaction rates, product distributions, and activation barriers) can be obtained at almost one-tenth of the fabrication cost of analogous commercial setups. With these key benefits including automation, low cost, and limited experimental equipment instrumentation, this implementation is intended as a high-throughput catalyst screening reactor that can be readily utilized by materials synthesis researchers to assess the catalytic properties of their synthesized structures in vapor-phase chemistries.
