High-throughput heterogeneous catalysis

This comprehensive review of the literature (over 250 references) deals with high-throughput experimentation in heterogeneous catalysis. Approaches to library design for catalyst discovery and optimization are described and discussed. Special focus is placed on advanced methods for knowledge discovery such as high-throughput kinetic modeling and QSAR. An inventory of successful case studies in catalysis is reported. Finally, recent developments in relevant electronic data and knowledge management are described. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.
