The study of catalysts under in situ conditions is of crucial importance if significant progress is to be achieved in this technologically important field. It provides direct insight into catalyst behaviour and accelerates catalyst development by enabling the realistic and prompt identification of parameters limiting their performance. This proposal sets out a programme involving the use of a combination of in situ techniques already available at the Leverhulme Centre with new techniques such as FTIR/Raman, TG/DSC, and calorimetry. The availability of the latter techniques will directly support research sponsored by iAc, as a response to Foresight, which will be coordinated by and pursued at the Leverhulme Centre (in close collaboration with the universities of Sheffield and Edinburgh) for the development of a new approach to high throughput catalyst testing. These new facilities will be made available to the iAc's programme partners as well as to other centres in the UK. Specific research to be conducted with this instrumentation comprises (i) in situ studies of catalyst deactivation and modification, (ii) determination of reaction kinetics for both gas and liquid phase reactions, and (iii) the quantification of thermal effects and limitations upon adsorption or during reaction.
