Abstract
In this paprr we are presenting the synthesss “in situ” of nanoparticles in reverse micelles. In the case of aggregates containing copper ions, it is possible to form metallic particles surrounded or not by an oxide layer. By mixing aggregates containing cadmium and sulphide ions, CdS particles are formed. The size and polydispersity of the particles are controlled. The photoelectron transfer reaction depends mainly on the surface composition. In the range of 1 to 5 nm, the efficiency in the electron transfer does not depend on the size of the particle.
The reverse micelles are formed by using either sodium di(2-ethyl hexyl)sulfosuccinate, usually called {AOT} or mixed bivalent and sodium di(2-ethyl hexyl)sulfosuccinate {AOl/M(AOT)2}.
