Herein, a pH-switchable Pickering interfacial biocatalysis (PIB) system is proposed and applied to a solvent-free biphasic biocatalysis. The oil-in-water emulsion was stabilized by amine-functionalized hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (HMSS-N), which is functioned as emulsifiers of PIB and carri...
