Abstract Continuous-flow microchannels are widely employed for synthesizing various materials, including nanoparticles, polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to name a few. Microsystem technology allows precise control over reaction parameters, resulting in purer, more uniform, and structurally stable products due to more effective mass transfer manipulation. However, continuous-flow synthesis processes may be accompanied by the emergence of spatial convective structures initiating convective flows. On the one hand, convection can accelerate reactions by intensifying mass transfer. On the other hand, it may lead to non-uniformity in the final product or defects, especially in MOF microcrystal synthesis. The ability… More >
