H. Ohde et al., Synthesizing silver halide nanoparticles in supercritical carbon dioxide utilizing a water-in-CO2 microemulsion, PHYS CHEM P, 2(23), 2000, pp. 2353-2354
Ionic species can be stabilized in the water core of a water-in-CO2 microem
ulsion in supercritical fluid CO2; by mixing two microemulsions containing
Ag+ and X- ions separately, silver halide (AgX) nanoparticles were synthesi
zed in supercritical CO2; the water-in-CO2 microemulsion may provide a reac
tion system for a wide range of nanoparticle syntheses involving ionic spec
ies in supercritical CO2.
