This study presents an innovative fabrication protocol for affordable, custom-designed photocatalytic microreactors, achieving reproducible and controllable incorporation and immobilization of catalysts. The fabricated microreactors showed excellent photocatalytic performance in a model reaction, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed fabrication method.
Reproducible and controllable incorporation and immobilization of catalysts and other active particles onto silicone microreactor channels is still challenging. In this work, we present an innovative fabrication protocol to attain affordable, custom-designed photocatalytic microreactors in a fast and simple manner. In this protocol, a 3D-printed ABS microreactor mold is first dip-coated with the photocatalyst, and subsequently, the catalytic layer is transferred onto the microchannel walls by indirect immobilization during the silicone casting and scaffold removal step. Serpentine-shaped microreactors have been satisfactorily fabricated with Au@POM-impregnated TiO2 nanoparticles (Au@POM/TiO2; Au 0.18 % w/w, POM: H3PW12O40) as the integrated photocatalytic layer. The suitability of our fabrication method has been validated on the basis of the excellent photocatalytic performance shown by the microreactors in a model test reaction such as the continuous-flow photoreduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with NaBH4 and monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy.
