Synthesis of phase pure hopeite pigment through a solvothermal flow method is reported here for the first time. The products show two-step dehydration behaviour from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and a higher degree of purity and homogeniety than commercial zinc phosphate pigment. By increasing the reaction temperature stepwise from room temperature to 350 °C it was possible to decrease the size of the individual crystallite sheets and to tune their packing into larger assemblies. The conversion of reactants to product proved to be significantly higher at increased temperature with a measured yield of 98.7% at 250 °C versus 85.4% at room temperature. The synthesis route demonstrated here is environmentally sustainable, increases cost-efficiency through minimization of waste, and is compatible with a scale-up strategy.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol is a key chemical reaction to store energy in chemical bonds, using carbon dioxide as an energy sink. Indium oxide is amongst the most promising candidates for replacing the copper and zinc oxide catalyst, which is industrially applied for syngas mixtures but less idoneous for educts with carbon dioxide due to instability reasons. The polymorph of indium oxide and the operating conditions remain to be optimized for optimal and stable performance.

A CuO/TiO hybrid heterostructure was successfully engineered from copper metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using a two-step process involving solvothermal synthesis and calcination. By precisely controlling the CuO loading, this synergistic composite exhibited exceptional performance in photocatalytic CO reduction. Notably, AI-assisted continuous flow experimentation achieved a record-breaking methanol production rate of 2.

Article Synopsis
- - A novel heterojunction made of BiMoO/CdS with Ni nanoparticles was created using a solvothermal method and showed significant photocatalytic activity in degrading 2-aminophenol, outperforming individual metal components by 26 and 16 times.
- - The efficiency of this heterojunction is attributed to a unique S-scheme which enhances the separation of charge carriers, with Ni nanoparticles preventing electron backflow through a Mott Schottky barrier, allowing for a more effective flow in photocatalytic processes.
- - The structure's 2D-2D morphology increases surface area for better light absorption and reactivity, and its stability over multiple cycles indicates good potential for practical applications and recycling.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are typically prepared in the form of insoluble microcrystalline powders using batch solvothermal reactions that are energy-intensive and require long annealing periods (>120 °C, >72 h). Thus, their wide-scale adoption in a variety of potential applications is impeded by complications related to synthesis, upscaling, and processing, which also compromise their commercialization. Here we report a strategy to address both the need for scalable synthesis and processing approaches through the continuous, accelerated synthesis, and processing of imine- and hydrazone-linked COFs using a flow microreactor.

Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) nanomaterials are well-known efficient powder-shaped photocatalyst for degrading antibiotic wastewater, but their practical applications have been limited by unsatisfactory photo-absorption, weak photocatalytic activity and poor recyclability. To address these issues, we demonstrate that the growing of S-doped BiOBr nanosheets on carbon fiber cloth (CFC) can lead to efficient photocatalysis with recyclable features. With carbon fiber cloth as the substrate, S-doped BiOBr (BiOBr-S) nanosheets (diameter: ∼500 nm, thicknesses: ∼5-90 nm) was prepared by solvothermal method with thiourea as dopant.
