ABSTRACT
Liquid-liquid phase separation is reported to enhance the catalytic reaction rates severalfold. Herein, we explored the interactions between a catalyst and a range of substrate concentrations to understand the impact on the droplet phase and catalytic reaction kinetics. We observed that the substrate above a critical concentration induces phase transitions within liquid condensates and restricts the free movement of both the substrate and products, resulting in an overall reduction of the reaction rate, an observation not reported earlier.
