Predibond™
The result of a collaborative effort between the IFP Energies nouvelles, formerly French Petroleum Institute and Materials Design®: It uses a patented approach to screen and rank a range of materials according to their binding strength with specific target atoms.
Proven in screening of catalysts for hydrodesulfurization of fuel feedstock.
The approach is more generally applicable to any question where bonding strength of a material to specific elements plays a decisive role: catalytic activity versus bond strength computed with PrediBond™ reveals a volcano-curve correlation: Combining MoS₂ and Ni₃S₂ leads to optimal activity.
