Abstract
One embodiment provides a chemical reactor, which can comprise a substrate for facilitating chemical reactions occurring at triple-phase boundaries. One possible substrate may further comprise a set of dynamically controllable sites and/or pixels upon which control signals may affect a desired formation of gas bubbles over an active catalytic (or other desired) solid surface in a liquid flow—wherein a chemical reaction in two or more phase boundaries may occur. In yet another embodiment, a control algorithm may send control signals to controllable sites/pixels to maximize the operation of the reactor according to a desired metric (e.g., product formation) that may input a set of sensor data to affect its control.
