HTE in catalysis typically involves the use of automated robotic systems to conduct and analyze multiple experiments simultaneously. These systems are equipped with advanced technologies such as microreactors, combinatorial chemistry, and high-throughput analytical techniques. The process generally includes:
Design of Experiments (DoE): Planning and designing a set of experiments to explore a wide range of variables and conditions. Automated Synthesis: Using robotic systems to prepare a variety of catalyst formulations and reaction mixtures. Parallel Screening: Conducting multiple reactions in parallel to quickly gather data on catalyst performance. Data Analysis and Optimization: Using advanced software tools to analyze the results and identify trends, optimal conditions, and promising catalysts.
