High-Throughput Screening in Chemical Catalysis: Technologies, Strategies and Applications

This book is the first to cover all of the important aspects of this fascinating and rapidly developing field. The editors, A. Hagemeyer, P. Strasser, and A. Volpe, Jr. from Symyx Technologies Inc, have assembled a diverse group of distinguished international authors from both academia and industry, each contributing the most up-to-date results and status in their application of high-throughput methodologies. each chapter is devoted to a major topic including: high-throughput micro-reactor and synthesis equipment technologies, analytical approaches, experimental design and testing strategies, and fully integrated work-flows for materials discovery. Examples in chemical catalysis with an emphasis on heterogeneous catalysis, olefin polymerization using homogeneous catalysts, and electrocatalysis for fuel cells are presented. This book is an indispensable source for everyone working in the field.
