Problem A leading solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) manufacturer required a low-cost catalyst that can operate in their portable, light-weight fuel cell for sustainable electricity generation. Why is it a challenge? Fuel cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy...
Problem Cascading several reactions into one creates an opportunity to simplify product synthesis and reduce the number of unit-operations. In this regard, we investigated the synthesis of an imine followed by its hydrogenation into amine. The reaction cascade...
Problem Batch reactors are versatile and have decades’ worth of process development, however, they suffer from low-labour efficiency and low space time yields due to discontinuous operation and slow mass transfer rates. Continuous flow operation allows for enhanced...
