Gold Nanoparticle Films Deposited on Substrates From Brij 30 Reverse Micellar Solution: Formation, Processing, and Characterization

Zinc Peroxide Nanoparticles: Micellar Synthesis and Preparation of Films

“…Above, as a disadvantage of reverse micellar synthesis, it was noted that it allows one to obtain organosols with only a low content of NPs, which are inefficient for subsequent concentration and isolation of synthesis products. Nevertheless, such organosols can be used directly for the deposition of NP films, which has been previously shown earlier by the example of Au NPs [40,41]. In the present work, this possibility is tested for the preparation of films using synthesized organosols of ZnO 2 NPs, as well as a mixture of ZnO 2 and Au NPs.…”

“…The film formation process consisted of repeating this cycle the required number of times (n). The methods for preparing substrates, including cleaning and modifying their surface with amino groups using APS, as well as depositing films by chemisorption of NPs from the capillary layer of their colloidal dispersion, have been described earlier [40][41][42]. Equipment and conditions for studying solutions, particles and films by UV-visible, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), four-contact surface resistance measurements have already been reported elsewhere [41,43].…”
