“…Nanoparticles are clusters of 10−1000 atoms with size-dependent physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties. − For some technological applications, these properties are considered to be superior to those of the bulk solid-state materials. Hence, nanoparticles find applications in solar cells, microelectronics, display devices, and catalysis .…”

Nanoparticles of silver chloride were prepared by direct precipitation of silver ions with the surfactant counterion in the water pools of microemulsions formed by dioctyldimethylammonium chloride in an organic n-decanol/isooctane phase. This work represents a new concept to form nanoprecipitates using a single reverse micellar system. The net result is a fast reaction with less dependency on the intermicellar exchange of solubilizate. The effects of the surfactant and cosurfactant concentrations, of the mole ratio of water to surfactant, R, and of the loading of silver nitrate were evaluated. Increasing the surfactant concentration at fixed values of R and moles of silver nitrate resulted in a higher dependency on the reverse micellar exchange dynamics and increased the particle size. At high n-decanol concentration, the particle size increased due to decreasing the interaction between the nanoparticles and the stabilizing surfactant layer. Similar results were found at high values of R. Increasing the amount of silver nitrate resulted in the formation of more nuclei, and hence in the production of smaller particles. The trends in the particle size and the size distribution were followed using UV spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscope photographs.

“…In this method, a coreactant is electrochemically generated at the surface of the electrode followed by its reaction with a metal precursor in solution where the products precipitate at the electrode surface. It was further shown that this approach can be used for preparation of both thin films and nanocrystalline powders. − In 1996, Izaki et al , and Lincot et al , studied the electrodeposition of ZnO films from an aqueous solution via electroreduction of nitrate and dissolved oxygen, respectively. Choi and co-workers , further studied the electrodeposition of zinc oxide films by reduction of nitrate ions in a slightly acidic zinc nitrate solution.…”

Thin films of TaOH were cathodically electrodeposited from an aqueous solution containing Ta-IPA precursor and KNO as a sacrificial agent. It was shown that the deposition resulted from a precipitation reaction triggered by the local change of pH at the surface of working electrode. Combined structural and compositional analysis revealed that during the electrodeposition the oxidation state of tantalum remained constant, Ta(V). The as-deposited films are mesoporous amorphous tantalum oxide hydrate films, which can be converted to either pure TaO or TaN by high-temperature annealing in either air (or Ar) or ammonia, respectively. The TaN electrodes exhibited promising PEC activity for water oxidation. These results open the door for the reduced temperature synthesis of TaN electrodes on TCO substrates which would allow for efficient overall solar water splitting.
