Photothermal catalysis refers to a new catalytic mode that combines thermal energy with photocatalysis or adds light energy to thermal catalysis, achieving catalysis through both mechanisms. Currently, common research experiments include serial photocatalysis and thermal catalysis, driven thermal catalytic reactions, and thermally assisted photocatalytic reactions. In the first two types of experiments, light serves as a heat source, and the essence of the reaction is thermal catalysis. In the third type, light plays the dominant role and has a decisive impact on the reaction process, with heating aimed at promoting reaction rate enhancement.
As a leader in photocatalysis instrumentation, our research and development team customizes solutions to meet user requirements. Building upon the foundation of the PLR-GPTR50 Gas-Solid Photothermal Reactor (Photothermal 1.0) by researcher Zhang Tiejun, we have jointly upgraded it to the new PLR-PTSR II Photothermal Catalytic Reaction Instrument (Photothermal 2.0).
This product can be used for the research of gas-liquid, gas-solid, and gas-liquid-solid photothermal/photocatalytic reactions. It aims to provide a controlled flow rate and pressure, allowing for manual low-pressure sampling, humidification reactions, and optional surface temperature measurements during experiments. It can be used in various photothermal reaction systems, such as photothermal CO2 reduction reactions, photo/thermochemical ammonia synthesis, and photo/thermo catalytic oxidation, among others.
The device primarily focuses on gas-solid phase reactions and can handle liquid addition/humidification.
It is compatible with powders and porous materials.
It accommodates both differential and integral reactions.
Gas flow rate is controllable during the reaction.
Gas pressure is controllable during the reaction.
The device offers diverse temperature control options, including constant temperature, constant power, and program-controlled temperature (up to 8 segments), with PID artificial intelligence adjustment featuring self-tuning functionality.
It allows for manual low-pressure sampling.
PLR-PTSR II Photothermal Catalytic Reaction Instrument is designed for gas-solid phase photothermal-coupled reactions, with parameters reaching up to 550°C. It can be used for the research of gas-solid phase photocatalytic, thermal catalytic, and photothermal catalytic reactions. Liquid samples can be added at room temperature or humidified for reactions. The PLR-PTSR II Photothermal Catalytic Reaction Instrument primarily operates as a continuous-flow differential reactor while also accommodating closed integral reaction requirements. It aims to provide a controlled flow rate and pressure, as well as a light/thermal-coupled reaction testing platform, suitable for various photothermal catalytic reaction systems, such as photothermal CO2 reduction reactions, photo/thermochemical ammonia synthesis, and photo/thermo catalytic oxidation, among others.
Since the release of the PLR-PTSR II Photothermal Catalytic Reaction Instrument, it has received significant attention from many research professors and students, with some research institutions purchasing and using it for experiments. To help everyone better understand and operate the PLR-PTSR II Photothermal Catalytic Reaction Instrument, our product engineers have created a user manual, which is available for download and use.
