Flow-type continuous chemical synthesis has various advantages such as drastic reduction of waste, improved safety, and cost reduction compared to conventional batch-type synthesis methods. Flow Chemistry Team is focusing on the development of catalysts and reactions for the continuous flow synthesis. We are also working with researchers and engineers inside and outside AIST to develop the entire process, including separation and purification.

- Catalyst-related technology development
Development of catalysts for continuous flow synthesis
active for a long time and prevent the catalyst from dissolving into the reaction medium (leaching). We are conducting research aimed at developing highly active and highly selective catalysts with such characteristics.
Development of new methodology for the catalyst design with artificial intelligence
Catalysts used in flow synthesis must have different characteristics from conventionalbatch synthesis methods. In order to pack the catalyst in the reaction column and use it continuously for a long time, it is necessary to ke active for a long time and prevent the catalyst from dissolving into the reaction medium (leaching). We are conducting research aimed at developing highly active and highly selective catalysts with such characteristics.
Three-Component Catalyst System
In addition to the above-mentioned continuous flow technology, we are also studying on the synthesis of silicon and bismuth compounds and their utilization as catalysts and reagents based on their unique properties.
