Versatile Open-Source Photoreactor Architecture for Photocatalysis Across the Visible Spectrum

Adoption of commercial photoreactors as standards for photocatalysis research could be limited by high cost. We report the development of the Wisconsin Photoreactor Platform (WPP), an opensource photoreactor architecture potentially suitable for general adoption. The WPP integrates inexpensive commercial components and common high-intensity LEDs in a 3D-printed enclosure. Dimensions and features of WPP reactors can be readily varied and configurations easily reproduced. WPP performance is evaluated using literature transformations driven by light of disparate wavelengths.

Automated summary

The Wisconsin Photoreactor Platform (WPP) provides a cost-effective and easily customizable solution for photocatalysis research, integrating commercial components and high-intensity LEDs in a 3D-printed enclosure. The performance of WPP can be evaluated using transformations driven by light of different wavelengths, making it a versatile tool for research in this field.
