Understanding the effect of surfactants’ hydrophobicity on the growth of lanthanum sulfide nanospheres in water-in-oil microemulsions: a detailed dynamic light scattering, small angle X-ray scattering, and microscopy study

“…2,3,9,[15][16][17] A range of supramolecular structures, including micelles, RMs, vesicles, and other frameworks, can be formed by surfactants due to their amphiphilic nature. 18,19 Micelles and RMs can be shaped as spheres, discs, cylinders, ellipses, and rods. [1][2][3]12,[20][21][22] The composition and concentration of the surfactant and cosurfactants and water to surfactant mole ratio (W 0 ) can all have an impact on the shape of the micelle or reverse micelle.…”

A deeper insight into the evaluation of water-in-oil amicroemulsion templated samarium sulfide nanospheres: exploring its role in pickering emulsion formulation for photocatalytic dye degradation and synthesis of PANI@Sm2S3 nanocomposites

“…1,2 Generally, aer adsorbing to the oil-water interface, surfactant or amphiphilic polymer molecules reduce the interfacial tension in conventional emulsions. [3][4][5] Conversely, pickering emulsions, which are produced by the adsorption of nanoparticles to the oil-water interface, prevent the droplets from aggregating and improve the emulsions' stability. 1,2,6,7 It is interesting to note that few of the nanoparticles can be employed to produce stable pickering emulsions.…”

Influence of Chain Length and Concentration-Dependent Morphological Switching on Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols in a Micellar Environment

“…The knowledge of critical micelle concentration (CMC) is essential in terms of the self-aggregation characteristic of surfactants by which micelle-like nanosized aggregates are produced in aqueous media. − In recent years, the unique catalytic activity of surfactants has long been gaining considerable attention from synthetic organic chemists, since in aqueous micellar media, the majority of organic reactions are accomplished with better solubilization, extensive reaction rate, and greater degree of product selectivity. − A lot of organic reactions are performed in an aqueous micellar medium to reduce the environmental impact of traditional organic synthesis. − Along with the elimination of hazardous solvents from organic synthesis, the use of water as a reaction medium also offers chemical processes simplified operations, allowing for mild reaction conditions. The oxidation reaction is one of the most studied organic reactions, which produces a large number of precursor compounds with significant industrial applications. , The study of the micelle-mediated oxidation kinetics of numerous substrates led by higher-valent metal ions has long been substantially illuminated. − On account of the high reduction potential value ( E 0 ), metals like Cr­(VI), , Mn­(VII), V­(V), , Cu­(III), − Ce­(IV), − Fe­(III), Co­(III), and Ag­(III) , have significant strength to oxidize many organic substrates. Chromium­(VI) appeared as a renowned oxidant, used for various oxidation processes in organic synthesis over a long period, for its distinct speciation and high E 0 (1.33 V) in acidic conditions despite having detrimental effects, such as the harmful impact of chromium drops after oxidation, since it itself reduces to Cr­(III), which is kinetically inert and nontoxic.…”
