“…Electrochemical synthesis does not require high temperatures, irritant-reducing agents or extreme conditions, and has been used in microemulsion system for preparation of nanoparticles [8,9,10]. However, the technology is limited by low conductivity owing to large dielectric component in the microemulsion.…”

Metal Nanoparticles: Applications in Electroanalysis

“…Naturally, classical electrochemical deposition has been utilized to form Ni particles [165] as well as Ni and Cu nanowire arrays [166], although other techniques such as precipitation [167][168][169] and reverse microemulsions have also been developed [170,171].…”

Electrochemical behavior of K4Fe(CN)6 in [bmim]PF6/TX-100/H2O based microemulsions

“…They have wide applications in separation science, reaction engineering, environmental science, and materials science. Reverse microemulsions (water-in-oil) have been successfully applied to prepare nanoscale materials including metals [15,16], organic conductive polymers [17], and metal and nonmetal compound materials [18]. However, reverse microemulsions with oil as the continuous phase, are unsuitable for application in electrochemistry on account of their low electrical conductivity.…”
