High‐Throughput Screening Technology for Automotive Applications

The development of advanced emission control systems to meet the strict regulations requires efficient and flexible material screening capabilities. Here, a high throughput test unit is described. Two case studies demonstrate the rapid screening of relevant parameter spaces and material functionalities which can be used in product development. One involves steady-state testing of hydrocarbon oxidation in Diesel after treatment systems, while the other shows the evaluation of oxygen storage capacity in the optimization of three-way catalysts for gasoline engines.
