Linking the discovery of advanced catalysts with market evaluation and high-volume manufacturing
Overview:
The primary objective of the Materials Engineering Research Facility at Argonne National Laboratory is to enable rapid validation, to shorten the development cycle for advanced materials, and to provide production-ready processes for the manufacture of advanced materials. This includes providing a systematic engineering research approach for the:
- Development and specification of process conditions (at staged scale-up) for the production of bulk quantities of materials, which will enable scale-up and confirmation of accurate process costs and models
- Production of large volume quantities of materials for performance validation and market evaluation of those materials
- Identification, qualification, and specification of residual contamination limits on material purity and evaluation of their influence on performance
- Evaluation and validation of emerging manufacturing technologies for the production of the proposed materials.
This facility has the ability to produce catalysts from the milligram to kilogram scale.
