  • Chemoenzymatic cascade reactions are often hindered by catalyst incompatibility. Now, the co-packing of catalyst-loaded Pickering emulsion droplets and solid microspheres into a continuous-flow column reactor leads to efficient combination of homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysts.

  • Bubbles tend to burst and retract into droplets. Here the authors show how a droplet can be turned into a bubble by levitating the droplets acoustically and exploiting their buckling to form gas bubbles.

  • Colloidosomes based on silica nanoparticles self-assembled at water droplet/oil interfaces are promising inorganic protocells, but they often leak small molecules on transfer into bulk water. Through silane crosslinking and copolymer grafting, colloidosomes have now been endowed with membranes that exhibit pH-responsive permeability to small molecules. The resulting water-dispersible colloidosomes further serve to host and control enzyme reactions.

  • mlExisting nanoparticle-stabilized Pickering emulsions have several drawbacks, such as reactant diffusion, particle leaching, incompatible reaction environments and poor catalyst recovery. To overcome those limitations, the authors design a droplet-based reactor using egg white nanogel particles and a stimulus-responsive surfactant at low concentration, which enables one-pot synthesis of benzothiazoles and benzoxazole in high yield, in situ product separation and catalyst recovery.

  • A continuous flow cascade of multi-step catalytic reactions would provide significant advantages in faster reaction times, waste reduction, and lowered step-count of syntheses, yet this ideal remains challenging in practical applications. Here the authors describe continuous flow cascade catalysis through co-localization of two catalytically active subcompartments within Pickering emulsion droplets.
