摘要：

In recent few years combinatorial methodology has been extensively used in material science research. Based on the desired properties of materials, various high throughput synthesizing and screening technologies were developed. These high throughput technologies can increase our speed to more than hundred folds for finding and optimizing materials. One of the most active areas is catalysis. Scientists are developing novel high throughput technologies to screen catalyst libraries to find and optimize new catalysts for chemical industry. In this area die key is combinatorial catalytic reactor design, catalyst library synthesis, and product detection. Systematic technologies for catalyst library synthesis and characterization were developed in our laboratory. In this work, catalyst in situ synthesis, parallel reactor design, and detection methods will be introduced. Combining with the powerful combinatorial methodology, good chemistry design will make our work even more efficient. Hence, as an example of combining combinatorial technologies with chemistry design, a successful catalyst design is also introduced.
