The main objective of my research was to establish a high-throughput catalyst evaluation system based on thermal barcodes, in which a selected panel of phase change nanoparticles (PCM) was embedded into catalyst pellets. Owing to sharp melting peak of phase change nanoparticles and large temperature range of thermal analysis, the labeling capacity of thermal barcodes was greatly increased to over millions, sufficiently to evaluate a large number of catalysts in one batch of reaction. The thermal barcodes have been used to test coke formation for catalyst evaluation. After reaction, coke formation was tested by thermo-gravimetric analysis and the thermal barcode was decoded with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Items like heat transfer, interaction among catalyst and PCM particles, and gas diffusion have been studied to exam the feasibility of the high-throughput screening method.
