Welcome to the nomad-catalysis documentation

This is the documentation for the NOMAD plugin for heterogeneous catalysis data. It provides an overview of the supported entry types, their sub-sections and quantities and a guide of how to use the plugin and effectively manage and share catalysis research data in NOMAD.

This plugin was developed as part of Task Area E2 "Heterogeneous Catalysis" of the FAIRmat project within the National Research Data Infrastucture (NFDI). It can currently be tested in the Example Oasis provided by FAIRmat/NOMAD-lab. NOMAD facilitates the collection, storage, analysis and dissemination of research data, adhering to the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data management.

Introduction

This plugin aims at facilitating the catalysis researcher's life by providing a flexible tool to manage, vizualize, analyze and share catalyst and reactivity data. It is currently still in development and feedback about the plugin and documentation is welcome.

Included Entry Types

This plugin includes two new NOMAD entry types: CatalystSample and CatalyticReaction. More information can be found in the References and the How-to guides.

How-to guides

How-to guides provide step-by-step instructions for a wide range of tasks, with the overarching topics:

Reference

The reference section includes a list of all sections and their quantities, as well as the necessary format for the possible datafiles of the catalytic reaction.

About NOMAD

NOMAD is an open-source data management platform tailored for materials science, designed to follow the FAIR principles. It offers a robust framework for managing and sharing materials data in a standardized and interoperable manner. To learn more about NOMAD, visit the official homepage.

We hope this documentation provides all the information you need to make the most of the NOMAD Catalysis Plugin. Feel free to contact us for further questions.
