1. A method of monitoring and evaluating a production of a functional material, wherein the functional material is a catalyst, a battery material or an adsorbent, and wherein the method comprises:
providing a multitude of defined processes to a user, each with defined process parameters of a process for the production of a functional material and properties thereof,
recording steps taken by the user in implementing a process selected from the multitude of processes,
comparing the steps taken by the user with the process parameters of the selected process for the production of a functional material,
assessing the steps taken by the user based on a data basis having a multitude of processes implemented by earlier users with process parameters for the production of functional materials and the analyzed properties thereof,
reporting to the user the extent to which predetermined properties of the functional material produced by the implemented process are attained in the event of variances of the aforementioned steps in an implementation of the process selected from the defined process parameters of the selected process.
