▎ 摘  要

Miniaturized synthesis is attracting much attention due to many potential applications; a challenge remains in exploring versatile microreactors capable of producing pure products. In this study, we reported a kind of thermally robust liquid marbles and their application for miniaturized synthesis of graphene/Ag nanocomposite. The liquid marbles were constructed by using superhydrophobic Fe3O4/C microsheets as encapsulating agents. Results revealed that the morphology of the encapsulating agent as well as the humidity of atmosphere strongly affected the robustness of liquid marbles at elevated temperature. The resulting graphene/Ag nanocomposite showed one of the best catalytic characteristics for 4-nitroaniline reduction among the reported catalysts. The findings of this study not only offer an alternative insight into the stability of liquid marbles at elevated temperature but also provide a facile strategy for miniaturized synthesis.
