As we approach and adapt to the critical global challenges we face in the near future, it is important to consider the capabilities of flow chemistry and its applications in next-generation technologies for sustainability, energy production, and tailor-made specialty chemicals. We present the introduction of microfluidics into the fundamental unit operations of chemical engineering. We discuss the traits and advantages of microfluidic approaches to different reactive systems, both well-established and emerging, with a focus on the integration of modular microfluidic devices into high-efficiency experimental platforms for accelerated process optimization and intensified continuous manufacturing. Finally, we discuss the current state and new horizons in self-driven experimentation in flow chemistry for both intelligent exploration through the chemical universe and distributed manufacturing.}, journal={ANNUAL REVIEW OF CHEMICAL AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING}, author={Volk, Amanda A. and Campbell, Zachary S. and Ibrahim, Malek Y.

Until recently, vapor-phase synthesis of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has relied on solid reactants which require relatively high temperatures and complex dosing schemes for sequential layer-by-layer processes. This work introduces a facile and high-performing layer-by-layer oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD) scheme using the volatile liquid oxidant antimony(V) chloride (SbCl5) to deposit PEDOT thin films. Effects of reactor parameters on PEDOT film characteristics are described, and the necessary foundation for future studies aiming to understand the nucleation and growth of layer-by-layer oMLD PEDOT is detailed.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A}, publisher={American Vacuum Society}, author={Volk, Amanda A. and Kim, Jung-Sik and Jamir, Jovenal and Dickey, Elizabeth C. and Parsons, Gregory N.}, year={2021}, month={May} }

In this study, we introduce a post-synthetic chemistry for ultrafast metal cation doping of CsPbCl3 QDs with a high degree of tunability, using a model transition metal impurity dopant, manganese. Due to the fast nature of the post-synthetic metal cation-doping reaction, an engineered time-to-space transformation strategy is employed to unravel the kinetics and fundamental mechanism of the doping process. Using a modular microfluidic platform equipped with a translational in situ absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy probe, we propose a heterogeneous surface-doping mechanism through a vacancy-assisted metal cation migration. The developed in-flow doping strategy can open new avenues for on-demand optoelectronic properties tuning and scalable precision synthesis of high-quality metal cation-doped PQDs.}, number={7}, journal={MATTER}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Bateni, Fazel and Epps, Robert W. and Abdel-latif, Kameel and Dargis, Rokas and Han, Suyong and Volk, Amanda A. and Ramezani, Mahdi and Cai, Tong and Chen, Ou and Abolhasani, Milad}, year={2021}, month={Jul}, pages={2429–2447} }
