Combined Small-Angle Neutron Scattering/Small-Angle X-ray Scattering Analysis for the Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Prepared via Photoreduction in Water-in-Oil Microemulsions
Abstract:In this study, we used small-angle
neutron scattering (SANS) and
small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to investigate the formation process
of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) in water-in-oil (w/o) reverse microemulsions
comprising sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT), water, and
organic solvents (such as benzene, octane, and decane) by the photoreduction
of silver perchlorate (AgClO4). Combining SANS and SAXS,
the structural changes in the w/o microemulsions before and after
the formation of Ag NPs via… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
