Welcome to the Catalyst Property Database
Making it easier to find and apply theoretical simulation data in catalyst development research
The ChemCatBio Catalyst Property Database (CPD) currently contains DFT-computed adsorption energies for surface species in catalytic reactions. It is designed to reduce the time required to perform literature searches on previously computed catalytic pathways and intermediates by providing data in a central, searchable location. It also aims to enable accelerated discovery of catalyst descriptor and property correlations that are a common bottleneck in predictive approaches to catalyst R&D.
See the
release notes for more details.
Features of the CPD
- Initial dataset of DFT-computed adsorption energies for common surface species in catalytic reactions, drawn from peer-reviewed sources
- Detailed metadata accompanies each entry, allowing for ease of comparison and identification
- Advanced search and filter logic available to help users find the data of interest, quickly
Coming Soon
- Updates to the web application to meet user needs for catalyst R&D applications
- More data!
The CPD was developed as part of the Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium (ChemCatBio) Data Hub project and released to the public in September, 2020. For more information on its ongoing development, check back here or email

See the changes introduced in each version of the CPD in the
release notes.
