High-Yield Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Precipitation in a High-Aqueous Phase Content Reverse Microemulsion
Figure 1
Partial phase diagram at of AOT/SDS (2/1, w/w), toluene and a 0.5 M AgNO3 aqueous solution showing the microemulsion region (1). The nondetermined regions (ND) were not examined because they are not interesting for the present work. Composition of the microemulsion where precipitation reactions were carried out is shown by (▴). Line A indicates the constant surfactant/toluene weight ratio at which electrical conductivities were measured.
