Abstract
From energy-related transformations to organic syntheses, single-atom heterogeneous catalysts (SACs) are offering new prospects to tackle sustainability challenges. However, scarce design guidelines and poor mechanistic understanding due to a lack of discovery and operando characterization tools impede theirbroader development. This perspective offers a glimpse into how droplet-based microfluidic technologies mayhelp solve both of these issues, and provides technical considerations for platform design to systematically fabricate SACs and study them under operational conditions during liquid-phase organic syntheses.
期刊介绍:
CHIMIA, a scientific journal for chemistry in the broadest sense covers the interests of a wide and diverse readership. Contributions from all fields of chemistry and related areas are considered for publication in the form of Review Articles and Notes. A characteristic feature of CHIMIA are the thematic issues, each devoted to an area of great current significance.
