Hdyrated electron in reverse micelles

Formation of nanoparticles in water-in-oil microemulsions controlled by the yield of hydrated electron: The controlled reduction of Cu2+

“…In addition, the radiolysis of water in the water pool can also generate e − aq directly, but it is less important [25][26][27][28]. As the ω value increases, the yield of e − aq usually increases, except in the cationic-surfactant-based microemulsions [25][26][27][28][29][30]. In the SDS-based microemulsion, Kapoor et al [16,19] have used this regularity to explain the radiolytic synthesis of Ag, Cd, Pd, and Cu nanoparticles.…”

Cytochrome-c in reverse micelles: Small angle x-ray scattering measurements, percolation process, and critical behavior: An interpretation with an association model

“…Cytochrome-c solubilization in AOT reverse micelles follows a Poisson distribution law. 10,11 The ratio of protein to reverse micelle concentration, x, corresponds to the average number of proteins per micelle. The value of the hard sphere volume fraction for which the percolation process occurs in presence of proteins changes markedly with the cytochrome-c surface charge.…”

Formation of solid and hollow cuprous oxide nanocubes in water-in-oil microemulsions controlled by the yield of hydrated electrons

“…According to the results in the literature [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] and in our previous work [27], the ω value, the kind of anion, the viscosity of the water pool, and the aromatic ring can affect the yield and/or the reactivity of e − aq as follows.…”

“…(a) The yield of e − aq increases with increasing ω in W/O microemulsions not based on cationic surfactant [31][32][33][34][35][36]. (b) It is well known that NO − 3 can effectively react with e − aq in aqueous solutions, with a rate constant of 9.7 × 10 9 L mol −1 s −1 [37].…”
