Regulating interlayer spacing of aminated graphene oxide membranes for efficient flow reactionsPang et al.MatterFebruary 13, 2023In BriefIt remains a challenge to achieve effective flow reactions under mild conditions. Here, we report a strategy of regulating interlayer spacing of aminated graphene oxide membranes for efficient Knoevenagel condensation. Through decreasing the interlayer spacing, a flow reaction with ∼100% conversion is achieved at 22°C with a short reaction time (<29 s). This work presents a new strategy for efficient and rapid flow reactions under mild conditions. Full-Text PDF
