Automated Synthesis of Materials

The next libraries were designed step-wise on the basis of knowledge gained from previous ones. As such, the second, third and fourth libraries were based on platinum-ceria, metal oxide-ceria and copper-ceria formulas, respectively, each of them using a similar DoE model for their design [18]. 

For all the chosen strategies reported here, the catalysts were prepared using the same automated robot, which specially designed for solid-phase preparation (ZINSSER GmbH, Fig. 10.5), offering key functions such as heating, cooling,
