Synthesis of cadmium sulfide in situ in cadmium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate reverse micelle: polydispersity and photochemical reaction

Complexes of tetraethylthiuram disulphide with group 12 metals: single-source precursor in metal sulphide nanoparticles’ synthesis

“…In the present case, the band edge is observed at 406 nm with a further shoulder at about 380 nm realizing that our CdS nanoparticles' sample may not be strictly monodispersed. A similar feature for the UV-Vis spectrum of the nanocrystalline CdS has been reported by Motte (1992) and Hoyer et al (1995).…”

Preparation of nanoparticles of silver halides, superconductors and magnetic materials using water-in-oil microemulsions as nano-reactors

“…Meyer et al [63] have generated platinized colloidal cadmium sulfide in situ in AOT based microemulsions. Several studies have recently been published on the synthesis, growth and characterization of cadmium sulfide [64][65][66][67][68][69][70] and cadmium selenide [71] particles in microemulsions.…”

Novel nanodispersed coal liquefaction catalysts: Molecular design via microemulsion-based synthesis. Final technical report, October 1990--December 1994

“…This is a result of the increase in the rate of exchange of material between inverse micelles as the water-tosurfactant molar ratio (R) increases (38)(39)(40). Furthermore, for R values in the range 1-4.5, the particle diameter (17-127 nm) is far larger than the micellar diameter (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) nm), which demonstrates that particles grow when inverse micelles coalesce and that the dynamic nature of the inverse micelles is a factor that should be considered in predicting particle growth in w/o microemulsions.…”

“…Most of these methods are based on hydrocolloids (3) and aerosols (4). Recently a novel synthesis method based on metal-loaded water-in-oil microemulsions has attracted the attention of catalyst preparation scientists (5).…”

“…The addition of more water molecules results in the formation of swollen inverse micelles, Le., microemulsions. The water pools inside the inverse micelles vary in size (3-30 nm) (4,5), depending on the water-to-surfactant molar ratio (R). Due to the cage-like nature of the water pools, particle growth is limited when particle precipitation is effected in them.…”
