title: High-throughput approaches to catalyst discovery.
abstract: High-throughput synthesis and screening approaches to catalyst discovery and optimization are systematically changing the way in which catalyst research is conducted. Increased rates of innovation, cost effectiveness, improved intellectual property, reduced time to market and an improved probability of success are some of the attractive features that demand consideration. Advances made over the past few years reveal that any initial skepticism is waning, and high-throughput approaches to catalyst discovery are now being implemented broadly in industrial and academic laboratories.
