Guidelines for the replication of the reactor and its operation are provided in detail. Three different composite systems (Pt/graphene, Pt/TiO2, and Au/TiO2) with monodisperse and uniformly distributed particles are produced by this reactor, and the photodeposition mechanism, as well as the synthesis optimization strategy, are discussed. The synthesis methods and their technical aspects are described comprehensively. The role of the ultraviolet (UV) dose (in each excitation pulse) on the photodeposition process is investigated and the optimum values for each composite system are provided.Multidisciplinary SciencesScience & Technology - Other Topicschemistryissue 146platinum nanoparticlesgold nanoparticlestio2 nanocompositemetallic nanoparticlespartially reduced graphene oxidephotocatalytic depositioncontinuous flow reactorphotoreductionplatinum nanoparticlesgraphenetio2degradationsupporttext::journal::journal article::research article
