title: A microreactor functionalized with acoustic wave effects and a liquid phase catalytic reaction.
abstract: In a microreactor functionalized with the effects of acoustic waves such as surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and resonance oscillations (ROs) that can be generated on ferroelectric crystals by applying rf electric power, the acoustic wave-induced dynamic lattice displacement vertical to surface significantly enhanced the catalysis of Sc(OTf)(3) in aldol condensation reaction of benzaldehyde and acetophenone to chalcone, demonstrating that the functionalization provided the microreactor with reaction-controllable functions of promoting liquid phase catalytic reactions.
