Carbon dots (CDs) as a new class of photoluminescent zero-dimension carbon nanoparticles have attracted significant research interests owing to their extraordinary opto-electro-properties and biocompatibility. So far, almost all syntheses of CDs require either heat treatment or exertion of high energy fields. Herein, a scalable room-temperature vortex fluidic method is introduced to the CDs synthesis using the angled vortex fluidic device (VFD).

The structural periodicity in photonic crystals guarantees the crystal's effective energy band structure, which is the fundamental cornerstone of topological and moiré physics. However, the shear modulus in most fluids is close to zero, which makes it challenging for fluids to maintain spatial periodicity akin to photonic crystals. We realized periodic vortices in hydrodynamic metamaterials and created a bilayer moiré superlattice by stacking and twisting two such vortex fluids.

We have developed a rapid and facile method for preparing free-standing nanocomposite of gold nanoparticles with graphene oxide (Au@GO) in water under continuous flow in the absence of harsh reducing agents and any other auxiliary substances, as a method with favourable green chemistry metrics. This uses a vortex fluidic device (VFD) where induced mechanical energy and photo-contact electrification associated with the dynamic thin film in the rapidly rotating tube tilted at 45° while simultaneously UV irradiated (λ=254 nm, 20 W) results in decomposition of water to hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide with growth of the gold nanoparticles on the surface of the GO. We have established that the resulting Au@GO composite sheets rapidly catalyse the degradation of commercial dyes like methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) using the hydrogen peroxide generated in situ in the VFD.

Chemical reactions and transformations in non-traditional vessels have gained significant interest in recent years. Flow chemistry, with its advantages in mixing, mass transfer, scalability, and automation, is a driving force behind this paradigm shift. In particular, the Vortex Fluidic Device (VFD) has emerged as a versatile tool across various applications, from organic synthesis to materials science.

This article details how to use a vortex fluidic device (VFD) to accelerate protein purification via immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). Building upon a previous report of VFD-based purification, we introduce a membrane insert to simplify the purification protocol and the resin recovery step. This new platform can be adapted to different types of IMAC resins and purification membranes.
