Innovative approaches in catalyst preparation for specific performances and purposes -- catalysts for fuel cells -- electrocatalysts -- photocatalysts -- catalysts for artificial photosynthesis -- catalysts for environmental application and energy production -- catalysts for biomass (constituents) conversion -- catalysts for nanotube synthesis -- multifunctional catalyts for petro- and fine chemistry -- catalysts with metal organic frameworks -- hybrid (bio + inorganic + organic) catalysts -- Advanced preparation of supports and supported catalysts -- hierarchical porous supports -- heterogenized soluble catalysts -- supported nanoparticles and organometallic catalysts -- nanotubes/fibers as catalysts (or supports) -- immobilisation of biocatalysts -- Key concepts in catalyst preparation -- scaling-up of catalyst preparation and shaping -- innovation in unit operations for catalyst preparation -- in situ spectroscopies in relation with catalyst preparation -- structured and membrane catalysts.
These meetings, held every four years, bring together researchers from academia and industry and offer a forum for discussions on the chemistry involved in the preparation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts. Contributions focus on the aspects of catalyst preparation. Reports on physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts and catalytic performances are limited to correlations with the preparation parameters. Contains a collection of the papers presented at the workshop.
