Catalytically Active Light Printed Microstructures.

ABSTRACT: Light-induced additive manufacturing (3D printing) has revolutionized manufacturing and its integration into the fabrication of catalysts holds key potential to enable facile access to optimized catalyst geometries and designs. Herein - for the first time - micro- and macro-sized photocatalytically active 3D printed objects are introduced via a dual-function photoresin using a ruthenium(II) complex containing monomer as both a photoinitiator for the 3D printing process and as the active photocatalyst within the printed structure. The approach leverages the spatial and temporal control afforded by light-induced 3D printing techniques during both one- and two-photon printing to precisely position the photocatalyst within intricate geometries using a pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) based r
