Emulsions are critical across a vast range of industries. Generally, emulsion synthesis is a complicated chemical process, requiring many mixed-phase systems. Here, we demonstrate that the flux of ions across the oil|water interface induces emulsification. Ion flux is achieved by a voltage-driven process, where an anode and a cathode are placed in each phase. When a current density of 2 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> is reached across the interface, emulsification occurs. We demonstrate that emulsification ...[more]
