Reverse Micelle Based Formation of BaCO3 Nanowires
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reverse micelle based approach is reported for the synthesis of BaCO3 nanowires with lengths up to 100 μm and diameters as small as 10-30 nm, each of which is a continuous single crystal with the c-axis along the wire length axis. The synthesis is achieved by the reaction of barium and carbonate ions solubilized in the polar cores of nonionic reverse micelles of C12E4 (tetraethylene glycol monododecyl ether) in cyclohexane. The crystal growth of BaCO3 nanowires has been examined by electron microscopy observations, and a directional aggregation process is proposed for the nanowire formation.

متن کاملFine-tuning of catalytic tin nanoparticles by the reverse micelle method for direct deposition of silicon nanowires by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapour technique.
The reverse micelle method was used for the reduction of a tin (Sn) salt solution to produce metallic Sn nanoparticles ranging from 85 nm to 140 nm in diameter. The reverse micellar system used in this process was hexane-butanol-cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The diameters of the Sn nanoparticles were proportional to the concentration of the aqueous Sn salt solution. Thus, the size of ...
