“…Pickering emulsions with solid catalysts assembled at oil–water interfaces have attracted ever-increasing concerns because their two liquid media along with distinctive interfacial environments provide a unique platform for the regulation of catalytic reactions. − Diverse catalysts such as solid acids, , metal nanoparticles, − and enzymes − have been reported to display enhanced catalytic performances at Pickering droplet interfaces. Particularly, two different catalysts could be compartmentalized in distinct liquid media of Pickering emulsions to spatially organize their catalytic steps for accelerating cascade reactions.…”

Pickering emulsions, which are emulsions stabilized by solid particles adsorbed at the interface between two immiscible liquids, provide a highly versatile platform for catalytic processes and offer distinct advantages over conventional systems. These emulsions combine the benefits of traditional biphasic catalysis with enhanced contact between reactive species due to their large interfacial area, which contribute to their high catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, Pickering emulsions offer significant advantages in catalytic processes, including improved extraction efficiency, a wider range of operational variables, the possibility of continuous operation, and the ease of recovery of the emulsifier and/or catalyst. Moreover, through strategic selection and design of solid particles, researchers can tailor interfacial properties to optimize catalytic performance, selectivity and stability. This comprehensive review discusses recent breakthroughs in Pickering emulsion research and their applications in catalysis, examining how Pickering emulsions have transformed catalytic methodologies. By discussing the latest developments, this review demonstrates the potential of Pickering emulsions as a catalyst platform and highlights their role in advancing sustainable and efficient catalytic processes.

Biocatalysis within biphasic systems is gaining significant attention in the field of synthetic chemistry, primarily for its ability to solve the problem of incompatible solubilities between biocatalysts and organic compounds. By forming an emulsion from these two‐phase systems, a larger surface area is created, which greatly improves the mass transfer of substrates to the biocatalysts. Among the various types of emulsions, Pickering emulsions stand out due to their excellent stability, compatibility with biological substances, and the ease with which they can be formed and separated. This makes them ideal for reusing both the emulsifiers and the biocatalysts. This review explores the latest developments in biocatalysis using Pickering emulsions. It covers the structural features, methods of creation, innovations in flow biocatalysis, and the role of interfaces in these processes. Additionally, the challenges and future directions are discussed in combining chemical and biological catalysts within Pickering emulsion frameworks to advance synthetic methodologies.
