ABSTRACT
However, the synthesis of mesoporous or
macroporous liquids—such as those with uniform 20 nm mesopores—remains
technically challenging due to the complex interplay of thermodynamic
equilibrium and kinetic barriers. In terms of
catalytic directionality, microporous water was utilized to enhance the
solubility of gases in electrolytes, thereby improving electrocatalytic
conversion efficiency. However, its direct application in catalyst design and
synthesis remains insufficient. The thermodynamic approach presented herein
offers a promising strategy for synthesizing more efficient catalysts in liquid
environments, potentially augmenting the density of catalytic sites and
extending applications to photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and related fields.
