ABSTRACTThe High Throughput Experimentation (HTE) project of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP, http://solarfuelshub.org/) performs accelerated discovery of new earth-abundant photoabsorbers and electrocatalysts. Through collaboration within the DOE solar fuels hub and with the broader research community, the new materials will be utilized in devices that efficiently convert solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into transportation fuels. JCAP-HTE builds high-throughput pipelines for the synthesis, screening and characterization of photoelectrochemical materials. In addition to a summary of these pipelines, we will describe several new screening instruments for high throughput (photo-)electrochemical measurements. These instruments are not only optimized for screening against solar fuels requirements, but also provide new tools for the broader combinatorial materials science community. We will also describe the high throughput discovery, follow-on verification, and device implementation of a new quaternary metal oxide catalyst. This rapid technology development from discovery to device implementation is a hallmark of the multi-faceted JCAP research effort.

AbstractHigh-throughput experimentation is effective in systematically producing large and diverse data sets. The marriage of combinatorial materials science and informatics is a natural one, and results are beginning to emerge from the integration of elements of materials informatics with data from combinatorial libraries. We discuss data management issues in high-throughput experimentation and highlight recent examples where data-mining tools are being implemented for extracting knowledge and predicting new compounds, with an emphasis on electronic materials.

Combinatorial Materials Science is the rapid synthesis and analysis of large numbers of compositions in parallel, created through many combinations of a small number of starting materials. The various samples are synthesised in a single piece, or on a single substrate, called a “library”. To date, most Materials Science combinatorial high throughput methods use deposited thin films. However, for many ceramic interconnect applications, bulk or thick film ceramics are required. It could also be argued that bulk properties are much more relevant than those of thin films when constructing large structure-property data bases, for data mining and prediction of novel compositions. Strain and skin effects in thin films often cause major discrepancies, e.g. ferroelectric measurements, changes in lattice parameters. Also, many thin films are epitaxial or single crystal, and hence have no grain boundaries, which can have a large effect on properties. At Aveiro we are developing novel methods of processing and analysing multiple combinatorial high throughput thick film or bulk ceramic libraries, as a series of compositional and functional steps. These can be produced with or without a supporting substrate. As well as composition, effects of variation in processing parameters such as firing temperature, time, atmosphere, substrate / electrode reactions, etc. can also be investigated. The structure-property relationships of dielectric, magnetic, and particularly magnetoelectric / multiferroic ceramics, are highly complex and difficult to predict, and therefore combinatorial searching could be an essential tool. As well as accelerating discovery, the amount of quantitative data produced will enable accurate predictions for multifunctional materials.
