New Catalyst Property Database to help scientists collect data for catalysis research

In Washington, D.C., the Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium (ChemCatBio) launched the new Catalyst Property Database (CPD). The database is uniquely suited to catalyst development in biomass conversion, as it was designed specifically to handle complex adsorbates such as those found in biomass vapor streams. These features also make it useful in a wide range of chemical transformations.

The database collects catalyst-centric data into a centralized, searchable location to make previously computed data easier to locate. In the CPD, you can search detailed metadata, such as material compositions and methods, directly rather than searching and mining journal article texts.
