a Exploded-view computer-aided design (CAD) model of the CSTR cascade for handling solid-containing photochemical reactions. b Picture of the assembled CSTR cascade. c Schematic of continuous flow synthesis in the CSTR. d CSTR after 8 h of continuous flow. It is visible that the solid byproduct makes up almost 50% in volume. "Adapted from Duvadie, R.; Pomberger, A.; Mo, Y.; Altinoglu, E. I.; Hsieh, H.-W.; Nandiwale, K. Y.; Schultz, V. L.; Jensen, K.
