Controlling Cavitation for the Activation of Small Molecules

Sonochemistry is the use of ultrasound to facilitate chemical reactions. Chemical reactions requiring stringent conditions can be effectively carried out using sonochemistry at ambient conditions. The current state of sonochemistry is limited by the low efficiencies in converting electrical energy to cavitation energy for free radical generation. This makes the application of ultrasound for chemical synthesis an expensive technique in terms of energy per productivity. Controlling cavitation with novel catalytic cavitation agents (CCA) to reduce energy requirement for inertial cavitation will open a new paradigm for sonochemistry, potentially impacting the catalytic chemistry, acoustic and…
