Accelerating your existing workflow

In catalysis R&D acceleration, standardization and digititalization are pivotal for the development of ecologic and economic chemical production processes of e.g. chemicals, polymers, polyolefins, rubbers.

Chemspeed provides high throughput and high output solutions which accelerate, standardize and digitize your R&D without compromise in areas such as:

  • Inorganic catalyst development for e.g. hydrogenation, alkylation, isomerization, oxidation, cracking catalysts by e.g. incipient wetness / excessive liquid impregnation, precipitation, zeolite synthesis
  • Organic and organometallic catalyst synthesis, screening and optimization / scale-up
  • Catalyst testing / optimization in batch, semi-continuous, and / or continuous mode


Highly innovative technologies allow mimicking virtually any workflow in a fully automated way. This saves precious time and increases output and quality of your lab dramatically, by using concepts designed for chemists by chemists.

Aqueous sonochemical synthesis of covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are versatile materials platforms for precise function integration owing to their high crystallinity, large surface areas, tunable characteristics and diverse and predictable structures. However, the dominant solvothermal method for COF synthesis requires harsh conditions, including high temperatures, toxic organic solvents, sealed and pressurized reactors, and extended reaction times that often exceed several days.

Experimental and kinetic study of the microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of glucose

Microwave technology offers rapid, selective, and efficient heating, making it a valuable tool for process intensification. In this context, this study employed microwave energy for rapid reaction optimization and reliable kinetic analysis for the catalytic conversion of glucose. Dehydration (DeH) and retro-aldol condensation (RAC) are two main routes for the catalytic conversion of glucose into valuable platform chemicals such as levulinic acid, methyl lactate, and other byproducts.
