{"product_id":"csfgptcfc","title":"Photothermal Catalysis Flow Cell for Solar Fuel Generation, CSFGPTCFC","description":"\u003cp\u003eA photothermal catalysis flow cell represents a sophisticated fusion of solar-thermal energy and chemical engineering. While standard photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells use sunlight to move electrons, photothermal systems use the entire solar spectrum (UV, visible, and Infrared) to generate intense localized heat on a catalyst surface. This heat lowers the activation energy of chemical reactions, allowing for \"thermal\" catalysis—like the Sabatier reaction or CO₂ hydrogenation—to occur using only concentrated sunlight, without the need for external furnaces or high-pressure steam. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a continuous flow cell for photothermal generation, the stack is designed to trap heat while moving gases or liquids. (1) \u003cstrong\u003eOptical Window\u003c\/strong\u003e: A double-pane quartz or high-borosilicate window is used. The gap between panes is often vacuum-sealed to provide thermal insulation, preventing the \"greenhouse\" heat from escaping the reactor. (2) \u003cstrong\u003ePhotothermal Absorber\/Catalyst\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is the heart of the cell. It is typically a flow-through porous matrix (like a ceramic foam, metallic sponge, or carbon felt) coated with \"black\" plasmonic nanoparticles (e.g., Ru, Ni, or Au) or semiconductors like black TiO₂. These materials are engineered to have near-perfect solar absorbance (low reflectance). (3) \u003cstrong\u003eHeat Localization\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unlike a standard oven that heats the whole room, these cells use nanoscale heating. The photons strike the nanoparticles, causing \"localized surface plasmon resonance\" (LSPR) or vibrational excitation, heating the catalyst surface to hundreds of degrees Celsius while the surrounding reactor body stays relatively cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 601.226px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCSFGPTCFC (C-SFG-PTCFC)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 184.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 184.8px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStructure\/Components\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 184.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotothermal Catalyst Type: photocatalyst with LSPR metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Window: Quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlate Distance: 6-8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrode Frame: PE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow Plate: Graphite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Collector: Gold-coated copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubing Connection: Barbed hose fitting (tubing I.D. 2mm, O.D 4mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 126px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 126px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCell Sizes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 126px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefault photo-effective area is 1.8 cm * 2.8 cm (~5.0 cm2) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther types of active areas, such as (3.5cm * 3.5cm), (5cm * 5cm) are also available upon request.  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell size: W125×H104 mm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 131.438px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 131.438px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssembling Diagram\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 131.438px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CSFGPTCFC_02_160x160.png?v=1772947935\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e   \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CSFGPTCFC_03_100x100.png?v=1772947934\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 84.188px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 84.188px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlow Pump (\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(247, 8, 8);\"\u003eOptional\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 84.188px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe flow pump can be supplied upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      \u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6591\/1526\/files\/CMEAFESFC_flow_pump_160x160.png?v=1772439579\" width=\"111\" height=\"90\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.0935%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.7266%; height: 39.2px;\"\u003eThe cell components should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after use. \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-024-45516-4\"\u003eX.
