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 researchers life by providing a flexible tool to manage, vizualize, analyze and share catalyst and reactivity data. Currently it is 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:

• Install this plugin
• Use this plugin

Reference

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