Abstract
Singlet oxygen metastables can be formed. A catalytic coating is formed on an interior surface of a flow reactor, and an oxygen containing species is flowed into the flow reactor to produce singlet oxygen metastables by a chemical reaction in the presence of the catalytic coating.
Claims14
A catalytic reactor cavity comprising:
- an interior surface;
- and
- a catalytic coating disposed on the interior surface, the catalytic coating adapted to produce energetic singlet oxygen metastables by a chemical reaction from an oxygen containing species;
- and
- an inner volume of the catalytic reactor cavity that defines a structure comprising a vane having members extending radially inward from the interior surface, the members adapted (i) to provide a surface to receive the catalytic coating and (ii) to not substantially impede a flow of a fluid through an inner volume of the catalytic reactor cavity.
