Synthesis and Analysis Methods and Reactor

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention introduces a reactor and a method that enables the efficient synthesis of chemical compounds — especially nanoparticles — while also allowing real-time, in-situ analysis using X-ray (or optionally neutron/electron) diffraction. Liquid or dissolved reactants are introduced into a specially designed reactor with defined entry and exit windows for X-ray radiation, enabling precise monitoring of chemical reactions and the properties (such as size and structure) of the resulting products during synthesis, without needing to transfer samples for separate analysis.

Patent Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesis and analysis of the compound prepared by the synthesis, comprising the following steps: – liquid reactants and/or reactants dissolved in a liquid phase are introduced into a reactor; – a compound is prepared from the reactants by way of the reactor being heated; – the reactor comprises an entrance window (2) and an exit window (3) for x-ray radiation, – the distance between the entrance window (2) and the exit window (3) is less than 4 mm or less than 3 mm; – the distance between the entrance window (2) and the exit window (3) is more than 0.5 mm or more than 1 mm; – x-ray radiation (10) generated by an x-ray source passes through the entrance window (2) and the exit window (3) of the reactor; – the x-ray radiation (10) diffracted as a result of passing through said windows is registered by an x-ray detector; – the registered x-ray radiation (10) is analyzed by an evaluation device. The invention relates to a reactor and an apparatus comprising the reactor for carrying out the method.
