Abstract
A combinatorial method for discovering or optimizing materials is disclosed. The method uses solution-based components that are mixed and dispensed into regions on a substrate for drying and/or heat-treating. The drying and/or heat-treating produces materials that can be tested for a desired property.
Claims55
A method for forming an array of materials, the steps of the method comprising:
- (a) at least partially dissolving two or more components, wherein each of said components is independently selected from the group consisting of oxides, alkoxides, aryloxides, allyloxides, diketonates, oxoalkoxides, oxoaryloxides, oxodiketonates, phosphates, phosphines, sulfates, nitrites, nitrates, hydroxides, amines, amides, imides, carbonates, carbonyls, halides, oxyhalides, metals, carboxylates and combinations thereof;
- (b) mixing said two or more components together in nine or more different ratios thereby forming nine or more different mixtures;
- (c) dispensing said two or more components in nine or more different ratios into regions on a substrate;
- and
- (d) optionally, heat treating the substrate comprising said nine or more different mixtures to form an array.

A method for forming an array of materials using a sol-gel process, the steps of the method comprising:
- (a) at least partially dissolving two or more components in a common solvent or solvent mixture, wherein each of said components is independently selected from the group consisting of oxides, alkoxides, aryloxides, allyloxides, diketonates, oxoalkoxides, oxoaryloxides, oxodiketonates, phosphates, phosphines, sulfates, nitrites, nitrates, hydroxides, amines, amides, imides, carbonates, carbonyls, halides, oxyhalides, metals, carboxylates and combinations thereof;
- (b) mixing said two or more components together in nine or more different ratios thereby forming nine or more different mixtures;
- (c) dispensing said two or more components in nine or more different ratios into regions on a substrate;
- and
- (d) optionally, heat treating the substrate comprising said nine or more different mixtures to form an array.
