Parallel Synthesis and Testing of Catalysts under Nearly Conventional Testing Conditions

Acceleration by one to two orders of magnitude for catalyst development without much loss of information: Parallelized synthesis and screening has been used to evaluate catalysts for the room-temperature oxidation of CO. The overall process was highly reproducible, and the data quality is comparable to that of conventional testing. The graph shows the results of parallel testing of Au/Co(3)O(4) catalyts at 25 degrees C (y=yield of CO(2)).
