MIT Chemists Design New Light-Powered Catalysts That Could Help Manufacturing ( Science News )

For More Details: MIT chemists have developed a novel photoredox catalyst that may make it easier to incorporate light-driven reactions into continuous flow manufacturing processes. As depicted in this digital artwork, polymer catalysts could be used to coat tubing and perform chemical transformations on reactants as they flow through the tube. Liu Catalysts could act on chemicals flowing through plastic tubing, assisting in the synthesis of drugs and other compounds.
