Speeding up biphasic reactions with surface nanodroplets

Abstract:

Biphasic chemical reactions compartmentalized in small droplets offer advantages, such as stream-lined procedures for chemical analysis, enhanced chemical reaction efficiency and high specificity of conversion. In this work, we experimentally...

“…The detailed procedure of solvent exchange, as shown in Figure 1a, has been introduced in earlier work. 12 The fabrication methodology of these surface nanocaps is sketched in Figure 1a and b. In the beginning, a ternary solution (Solution A) with volume ratio as ethanol: water: oleic acid (70:30:3.5) filled the chamber.…”

“…Small-sized droplets allow the reactant to be compartmentalized at high concentration and fast mass transfer rate from the surrounding phase. [9][10][11] The asymmetric local environment on the droplet surface provides active sites for chemical reaction, 9,12 or nucleation and growth of new phases. 13,14 Compared to current techniques developed for selective deposition of metal oxide nanomaterials including direct growth, chemical bonding, electrostatic adherence, or seeding on selectively activated areas, 15?…”

“…Many chemical reactions are reported to be usually much faster in smaller droplet than in the bulk, 9,10 such as acid-base reaction, 9 dehydration, 11 organometallic reactions, 12 and among others. The reaction rate in microdroplets may be accelerated to a factor of one million, 13,14 while other reactions that requires catalysts in the bulk may take place spontaneously in micro-sized droplets without a catalyst.…”

“…[15] Surface nanodroplets are femtoliter-scale droplets, with a height ranging from ≈5-1000 nm, formed on a target substrate. [16,17] The small volume and pinning effect around their boundary provide the stability of surface nanodroplets under the shear from the flow of an analyte or reactant solution, making surface nanodroplets suitable for rapid micro extraction [18] and droplet reactions [19] in continuous flowin systems. Recent advances in machine learning based methods may lead to rapid and automated droplet generation to establish training data for understanding dynamics of droplets consisting of complex media, [20] reaction kinetics in droplets, [21] and droplet based quantification and determination of chemical species.…”
