Catalytic Functionalized Structured Monolithic Micro-/Mesoreactors: Engineering, Properties, and Performance in Flow Synthesis: An Overview and Guidelines

In this review article, we first discussed the development of silica monoliths with hierarchical macro-/mesopore structure and their potential figures of merit as continuous-flow micro-/mesoreactors of up to 30 ml working volume. Making use of the flow hindrance of different pore structures seen fro...
