Abstract

We report a bioinspired emulsion microreactor composed of an electrical double layer to mimic the functions of cell membranes. This “artificial cell” can modulate the phase-oriented transport of reagents at the oil–liquid interface via the electrical double layer, affording a powerful tool to optimize the selectivity in a catalytic reaction.
