Abstract: Reaction vessels which allow visualization while speeding vaporization or other reactions. In one illustrative embodiment, a reaction vessel may have sidewalls formed from a transparent material such as a clear quartz glass having relatively smooth surface and relatively low thermal transfer properties while allowing for visualization into the vessel. The vessel floor may be formed from a porous textured opaque quartz glass bottom. Liquids in the vessel will more readily react due to the numerous pores on the surface of the material of the bottom which serve as active nucleation sites during a chemical reaction process. Additionally, an unexpectedly higher rate of thermal diffusivity into the vessel interior may further increase reaction speeds. Methods of conducting and analyzing reactions using such vessels are further included in the present disclosure.
