Abstract:
A method for forming an array of supported catalyst materials, said method comprising the steps of:a)discretely providing a catalyst carrier in a liquid suspension to each of at least four regions on a substrate said liquid suspension further including at least one agent to alter its viscosity, surface or wetting characteristics and facilitate handling; b)removing at least a portion of said liquid from said suspension to form an array of porous catalyst carriers; c)providing in a liquid medium a catalytically active component or a precursor thereof to said at least four regions on said; d)impregnating said array of catalyst carriers with said catalytically active component or a precursor thereof on said substrate to form an array of supported materials for screening for heterogeneous catalytic properties; and e) removing at least a portion of said liquid medium.
