Atinary Webinar Series - Ep 01 - SwissCat+

In this webinar, Dr. Paco Laveille and Dr. Loïc Roch discussed the optimization and discovery of catalysts for chemicals and fuels production and a specific use case and the initial results of the collaboration between Swiss Cat+ and Atinary Technologies that we recently featured on the cover pager article in the Cell Press journal #ChemCatalysis, and as in the Research Highlight Section of #NatureCatalysis. The process presented involves studying large multi-parameter spaces and evaluating millions of combinations. You will learn how combining AI, robotics, and data analytics allow the ETH and Atinary teams to dramatically accelerate catalyst development, rationalizing the screening of chemical spaces and increasing the throughput and reproducibility of experimental data. This is a revolutionary method to accelerate chemical reactions focusing on heterogeneous catalyst optimization for the conversion of CO2 to methanol. The results demonstrate orders of magnitude acceleration and significant performance improvements while minimizing costs and unwanted by-products.
