Microreactors in Organic Synthesis and Catalysis

Closed Pt nanowire arrays as nanostructured microreactors for catalysis

In recent years, the advantages of microstructured devices for chemical reactions have been demonstrated most impressively. The application of microstructured reactors has gained significant importance in chemical synthesis and analysis [1]. The spectrum of chemical conversions, carried out successfully in microstructured reactors, includes many catalytic reactions. Supportless onedimensional n...

High mass resolution time of flight mass spectrometer for measuring products in heterogeneous catalysis in highly sensitive microreactors.

We demonstrate a combined microreactor and time of flight system for testing and characterization of heterogeneous catalysts with high resolution mass spectrometry and high sensitivity. Catalyst testing is performed in silicon-based microreactors which have high sensitivity and fast thermal response. Gas analysis is performed with a time of flight mass spectrometer with a modified nude Bayard-A...

Heterogeneous Catalysis for Environmental Remediation

The intensive human activities in chemical industry and environmental purification urge the development of advanced protocols for green production and waste management. In environmental science, developing highly efficient and environmentally-friendly catalytic materials and systems are very favourable approaches to green chemical synthesis and remediation of contaminated air, soil, and wastewa...

Heterogeneous Catalysis for Tandem Reactions

As long as the molecular complexity increases, the number of chemical transformations will increase in parallel, becoming a highly demanding synthetic process in terms of time and resources. Since the loss of material after each purification step will also dramatically reduce the overall efficiency of a synthetic process, the conversion of such transformation into a practical and efficient proc...
