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

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

November 7, 2021 |

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 […]
