Chemical synthesis of a retina, and how it can ‘see’ the world around it
Type: Feature
It is increasingly important for companies to maximise the sustainability of their manufacturing processes, to reduce hazardous effects on the environment, and to ensure that we have sufficient natural resources for the future. Platinum group metals (PGMs) are widely used within consumer and industrial products, and include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium. They occur naturally but are scarce and, therefore, highly valuable.

Why is it that the introduction of innovative process technologies appears to be so slow in the process industries? For example, the benefits of implementing flow chemistry at smaller commercial scales have been discussed for over a decade, and yet the reality is that new products continue to be realised through batch processes. Economies of scale and the two-thirds rule dominate the approach to large-volume, commodity chemicals, leading to highly centralised production, reliance on long-established process routes, and incremental improvements.
