“…They play a crucial role in organizing the building blocks into a controlled morphology and size [72]. Numerous stabilizing agents, including surfactants and other compounds, can be employed in nickel synthesis, for example, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), tetraethylammonium bromide (TBAB), tetrabutylammonium bromide (TEAB), tetra dodecyl ammonium bromide (TC 12 AB), citric acid, sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), Tween 40, Tween 80, D-sorbitol, PEG 6000, sodium carboxyl methylcellulose (Na-CMC), hydroxyethyl carboxymethyl cellulose (HECMC), trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), trioctylphosphine (TOP), and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) [21,26,34,42,62,73,76,[81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88].…”
