Microdroplets show unique chemistry, especially in their intrinsic redox properties, and to
this we here add a case of simultaneous and spontaneous oxidation and reduction. We …

Ion soft landing (SL) is a preparative mass spectrometry approach that enables deposition of
mass-and charge-selected gaseous ions onto surfaces with controlled kinetic energy. The …

Surface biofunctionalization with proteins is the key to many biomedical applications. In this
study, a solvent-free method for the controlled construction of protein thin films is reported …

The esterification reaction of different amino acids with methanol catalyzed by H2SO4 was
first studied in the small volume of thin films generated by ESI microdroplet deposition. The …

The asymmetric synthesis of warfarin in microdroplets and thin films generated by an
electrospray ionization (ESI) source is reported. This is one of the first examples of an …

Chemical reactions in micrometer-sized droplets can be accelerated by up to six orders of
magnitude. However, this acceleration factor (ratio of rate constants relative to bulk) drops to …

Thin films derived by the deposition of charged microdroplets generated in the ESI source of
a mass spectrometer act as highly concentrated reaction vessels in which the final products …

The Maillard reaction kinetics in the confined volume of the thin film produced by ESI
microdroplet deposition was studied by mass spectrometry. The almost exclusive formation …

Soft landing of well-characterized polyoxometalate anions, PW12O403−(WPOM) and
PMo12O403−(MoPOM), was carried out to explore the distribution of anions in the …

Accelerated synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in charged microdroplets produced by
electrospray ionization (ESI) was exploited to modify the surface of graphite screen-printed …
