Surfactants have found aw ide range of industrial and scientific applications.Inparticular,detergent micelles are used as lipid membrane mimics to solubilizem embrane proteins for functional and structural characterization. However,a na tomic-level understanding of surfactants remains limited because many experiments provideonly low-resolution structural information on surfactant aggregates.I nt his work, small-angle X-ray scattering is combined with molecular dynamics simulations to derive fully atomic models of two maltoside micelles at temperatures between 10 8 8Ca nd 70 8 8C.The micelles take the shape of general tri-axial ellipsoids and decrease in sizea nd aggregation number with increasing temperature.Density profiles of hydrophobic groups and water along the three principal axes reveal that the minor micelle axis closely mimics lipid membranes.T he results suggest that coupling atomic simulations with low-resolution data allows the structural characterization of surfactant aggregates.

“…In reference [161], a comprehensive table is reported, collecting many of the wet chemistry routes used to produce, inter alia, different sulphides and other chalcogenides. Transition metal sulphides such as Ag 2 S, CuS, CdS, and ZnS, FeS 2 , which can be formed either directly from their precursors ions or indirectly by sulphide ion-assisted conversion of the corresponding metal oxide, typically under anaerobic conditions, have been the focus of recently appeared review [163].…”

Abstract:Metal sulphides, and in particular transition metal sulphide colloids, are a broad, versatile and exciting class of inorganic compounds which deserve growing interest and attention ascribable to the functional properties that many of them display. With respect to their oxide homologues, however, they are characterised by noticeably different chemical, structural and hence functional features. Their potential applications span several fields, and in many of the foreseen applications (e.g., in bioimaging and related fields), the achievement of stable colloidal suspensions of metal sulphides is highly desirable or either an unavoidable requirement to be met. To this aim, robust functionalisation strategies should be devised, which however are, with respect to metal or metal oxides colloids, much more challenging. This has to be ascribed, inter alia, also to the still limited knowledge of the sulphides surface chemistry, particularly when comparing it to the better established, though multifaceted, oxide surface chemistry. A ground-breaking endeavour in this field is hence the detailed understanding of the nature of the complex surface chemistry of transition metal sulphides, which ideally requires an integrated experimental and modelling approach. In this review, an overview of the state-of-the-art on the existing examples of functionalisation of transition metal sulphides is provided, also by focusing on selected case studies, exemplifying the manifold nature of this class of binary inorganic compounds.

“…The ACG which can be considered to belong to "green chemistry", is a low-temperature method for the synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures. 49 The ACG usually provides highly yield of the desired nanomaterial and facilitate scaling the nanodvices. 50 In addition to the low cost of this synthesis route, the ACG can be operated at sufficiently low-temperatures (< 100 ᴼ C) that allow the nanomaterials to be synthesized on any substrate e.g.…”
