They can increase the rate of chemical reactions, enhance the selectivity of responses, and reduce the energy consumption of chemical reactions. They can be used in the chemical industry, environmental protection, energy production, biochemistry, and other fields. Catalysis, an important basic chemical reaction, also plays a significant role in micro/nanorobots. Catalysis can not only convert chemical energy or other energy such as light energy into mechanical energy of micro/nanorobots, giving micro/nanorobots excellent motion performance but also enables micro/nanorobots to show excellent application potential in the field of environmental governance and detection, especially in the degradation of organic pollutants. Based on this, this paper takes the catalytic mechanism as the main line, combines the two levels of drive and application, and summarizes a series of catalytic micro/nanorobots design strategies in detail. Based on the different catalytic mechanisms, catalytic micro/nanorobots are systematically classified and introduced. Finally, the current challenges and future development trends of catalytic micro/nanorobots are carefully discussed. Hopefully, this review can further deepen the integration of catalysis and micro/nanorobots, promoting more advanced catalytic micro/nanorobots fabrication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"348 ","pages":"Article 103715"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145555247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the consumption of high-quality coal resources and the implementation of the worldwide carbon reduction strategy, large-scale separation of low-quality coal (low-rank/oxidized coal) resources have become an important choice to ensure energy supplement and green development of coal industry. This review introduces the background and importance of emulsion collector technology in low-rank/oxidized coal flotation and analyzes its fundamental principles, including collector-particle-bubble interactions involving multi-scale interfacial mechanics. Then, the review discusses research progress in various emulsion collectors, such as traditional coarse emulsion, microemulsion, nanoemulsion, high-internal phase emulsion and Pickering emulsion, from high/low energy emulsification selection, emulsion formulation optimization and oil-water interfacial behavior aspects. Specifically, the emulsion collectors can effectively enhance the dispersibility of traditional oily collectors and decrease their dosages, as well as improve the attachment efficiency and hydrophobicity of coal surface, thereby enhancing the flotation separation effects. The complicated physicochemical enhancing mechanisms between emulsion collectors, coal particles and flotation bubbles are systematically described and warrant further in-depth investigation. This review concludes with a summary of the prospects of emulsion technology in improving low-rank coal flotation efficiency, reducing agent consumption and mitigating environmental impacts. It proposes future research directions, including enhanced emulsion structure-activity relationship analysis, targeted emulsifiers design, flotation dynamic process optimization, and large-scale application, to promote commercialization and sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"348 ","pages":"Article 103735"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145662841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating insights from colloid science, interfacial thermodynamics, and multiscale transport phenomena, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms of NHCFs, including wettability alteration, targeted interfacial regulation, and capillary–permeability coupling. This work synthesizes recent advances in experimental, mechanistic, and theoretical studies of NHCFs for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), establishing critical links between pore-scale interfacial processes and reservoir-scale flow dynamics.

EGFs are produced with a variety of natural and synthetic ingredients to increase their physical, mechanical, elastic, water resistance, vapor barrier, UV-blocking, and thermal stability properties.
