High-throughput Technologies for Preparation and Testing

High-throughput Technologies for Preparation and Testing in Combinatorial Development of Catalytic Materials 

In the extensive experimental work required in searching for an optimal catalyst, high-throughput technologies (HTT) are applied in the preparation and testing of the numerous catalytic materials. Simply put, HTT involves the fast preparation of large hbraries of identifiable individual catalytic materials and their rapid physical and catalytic characterization. 

The respective methodologies and dedicated experimental tools for solving the experimental tasks are described in the next sections. 

Selection of Potential Elements for Defining the Multi-parameter Compositional Space of Catalytic Materials 

For the three mechanisms different metal oxides were selected that differed slightly for the two reactions (see Table 2.2). For the first generation, randomized compositions with respect to type of component and its proportion in the material were prepared and tested for their
