Synthesis and Characterization of ZnSe Nanocrystals by W/O Reverse Microemulsion Method: The Effect of Cosurfactant

“…Nevertheless, very few reports , of the preparation of ZnSe nanocrystal by W/O microemulsion method could be found generally. In our study, a novel synthetic medium has been exploited, ZnSe nanocrystals were synthesized by a W/O reverse microemulsion method using cyclohexane as oil phase, Triton X-100 as surfactant, and 2-propanol as cosurfactant, respectively.…”

“…This dynamic process ensures a homogeneous repartition of the reactants among the water droplets, at nanoscale level, of hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains, resulting in the formation of monodispersed nanoparticles of controlled characteristics. 34 Nevertheless, very few reports 35,36 of the preparation of ZnSe nanocrystal by W/O microemulsion method could be found generally. In our study, a novel synthetic medium has been exploited, ZnSe nanocrystals were synthesized by a W/O reverse microemulsion method using cyclohexane as oil phase, Triton X-100 as surfactant, and 2-propanol as cosurfactant, respectively.…”
