Abstract
This paper is dedicated to accelerated preparation and characterisation of materials and compiles the main discussions and conclusions of the workshop No. 1 held the first week of the NATO-ASI in Vilamoura, July 2001. It encompasses combinatorial catalyst systematic preparation, tools suited and accessible, evn for academia, for preparation in small quantities and characterisation of libraries containing a diversity of chemically and physically different materials in a high throughput fashion. This implies microfabrication, robotics, automation, purpose-built instrumentation and large scale information management.
Some examples, taken from the literature, illustrate the general discussion, in particular for heterogeneous catalysis. Emphasis is placed on the new tools available or to be developed both for accelerated preparation in small quantities and for their fast characterisation, on the necessity of high reproducibility and on reliable equipment validation, on compulsory encoding and data management to avoid any dramatic bottleneck, on multidisciplinary skills and expertises and on the necessary collaboration, in particular between academia and industry, usually in the form of international and industrial-academic consortia, as it has already started in many places.
