A Journey into the Enigmatic World of Pickering Emulsion: A Chemical Science Popularization Experiment

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, South-Central Minzu University, Wuhan 430074, China

Received Date: 13 June 2023
Revised Date: 8 October 2023

Pickering emulsion, an emulsion stabilized by colloidal solid particles at the water-oil interface, is a highly intriguing subject in scientific research, daily life, and industrial production. This paper aims to demystify the concept of “Pickering emulsion”. It delves into the fundamental principles, formation mechanisms, preparation techniques, laboratory findings, and applications in the field of photocatalysis. By doing so, it provides college students, teenagers, elementary school students, and even the general public with an opportunity to discover the beauty and wonders of chemistry through the lens of Pickering emulsion.
