Abstract
numbering-up strategy by 3D printing technology. Channel shape, number, and interchannel spacing have been optimized, and the serpentine FFPM shows the best scalability with an excellent conversion rate and massive throughput. Reactors with up to eight channels have been fabricated and displayed conversions comparable to that obtained in a single-channel reactor, which provides a feasible strategy and an optimized structure model for batch production of fine chemicals.
