Extended Data Fig. 1: Dynamic vs. Steady State Flow Experiments.

From: Flow-driven data intensification to accelerate autonomous inorganic materials discovery

Extended Data Fig. 1

Two modes of data acquisition strategies for flow reactors for material synthesis are qualitatively compared: (a) traditional Steady State Flow Experiments (SSFE) and (b) Dynamic Flow Experiments (DFE). Dashed light gray frames represent an experiment, where the residence time is increased accordingly for each strategy. On top of each experiment frame, the collected data (sensor positioned at the end of the reactor) for each experiment is displayed. DFE captures all data during the continuous experiment, while SSFE captures data only at the end of the experiment when the steady state has been reached. Lastly, all data collected, from the start of the dynamic experiment (t = 0) to the end of the dynamic experiment (tf), can be mapped to steady-state residence time conditions, presented in both sections as the position inside the reactor that would experience the expected residence time in the reactor.
