Abstract:
When scaled down to the nano- or micrometre range, microdroplets feature a high surface area-to-volume ratio and exhibit properties such as strong interfacial effects, electric fields, acidic environments, radical generation and enhanced reducing power. These features accelerate reaction rates and enable otherwise unfavourable CO2 conversion reactions under mild conditions.
