本文报道了一种制作微流控电化学反应器的有效方法。该技术依赖于软光刻和毛细管中的微成型。我们的制造方法的本质是能够将电极间间隙控制在40至200 μ m之间，并且能够产生具有复杂几何形状的微通道。选择用于制造反应器的材料耐大多数有机溶剂，而其相对柔软性消除了对用于制造微流体电化学反应器的其他方法所需的额外密封剂的需要。
We report an efficient method for the fabrication of microfluidic electrochemical reactors. The technique relies on soft lithography and micromolding in capillaries. Intrinsic to our method of fabrication is the capability of controlling the inter-electrode gap between 40 to 200 mu m, and the ability to produce microchannels with complex geometries. The material selected to fabricate the reactor is resistant to most organic solvents, whereas its relative softness eliminates the need for additional sealants required by other methods for the fabrication of microfluidic electrochemical reactors.
