What Types of Catalytic Reactions Can Benefit from Microfluidic Platforms?
Microfluidic platforms can be applied to a variety of catalytic reactions, including:
- Homogeneous Catalysis: Reactions involving soluble catalysts, such as enzyme catalysis, benefit from the controlled environment and efficient mixing. - Heterogeneous Catalysis: Reactions involving solid catalysts, such as metal nanoparticles, benefit from the ability to immobilize the catalyst within the microfluidic channels. - Photocatalysis: Microfluidic platforms enhance the interaction between light and the catalyst, improving the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions.
