Light-assisted carbon dioxide reduction in an automated photoreactor system coupled to carbonylation chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Continuous-flow methodologies offer promising avenues for sustainable processing due to their precise process control, scalability, and efficient heat and mass transfer. The small dimensions of continuous-flow reactors render them highly suitable for light-assisted reactions, as can be encountered in carbon dioxide hydrogenations. In this study, we present a reactor system emphasizing reproducibility, modularity, and automation, facilitating streamlined screening of conditions and catalysts for these processes. The proposed commercially available photoreactor, in which carbon dioxide hydrogenation was conducted, features narrow channels with a high-surface area catalyst deposition. Meticulous control over temperature, light intensity, pressure, residence time, and reagent stoichiometry yie
