Microfluidic platforms offer several advantages in catalytic processes:
1. Precise Control: They allow for precise control over reaction conditions, including temperature, pressure, and residence time, which can lead to improved catalytic performance. 2. Efficient Mixing: Enhanced mixing at the microscale improves mass and heat transfer, which is crucial for catalytic reactions. 3. High Throughput: These platforms enable high-throughput screening of catalysts and reaction conditions, accelerating the discovery and optimization of catalytic processes. 4. Reduced Consumption: The small volumes used in microfluidic systems reduce the consumption of reagents and solvents, making the processes more sustainable and cost-effective.
