Scaling Up of Catalysts Discovered from Small-Scale Experiments

Development of a high throughput environment for the optimization of process parameters for the solvothermal synthesis of isomerization catalysts

“…As over the last decades the innovation in the field of catalysis has slowed down as catalysts have matured, the need for methodologies that promise an increase in catalyst innovation has arisen1. Therefore combinatorial approaches to materials and catalysis research are increasingly being used to speed up the discovery of new leads and to diminish the cycle times for optimizations.…”

High-throughput gas phase transient reactor for catalytic material characterization and kinetic studies

“…In contrast, HT testing equipments for secondary screening are usually fixed bed reactors with catalyst loading in the range of 20-200 mg. They consist in multi-tubular reactor modules made of steel, quartz or ceramics [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Role of high-throughput characterization tools in combinatorial materials science

“…The process of combinatorial materials development couples the capability for parallel production of large arrays of diverse materials together with different measurement techniques for various physical properties and subsequent navigation in the collected data for identifying 'lead' materials compositions [2][3][4][5][6]. Examples of materials developed at the combinatorial scale and validated on scaledup versions in practical applications include catalysts [7][8][9][10][11], phosphors [12], formulated organic coatings [13] and sensing polymers [14].…”
