Abstract

Mechanisms of the formation and stabilization of gold nanoparticles in reverse micelles of micro-emulsions based on Triton X-100 (TX-100) and Aerosol OT (AOT) are studied. The instability of AOT-based microemulsions is shown to be caused by the oxidative degradation of gold nanoparticles in micelle water pools. Methods are proposed for the stabilization of these microemulsions. It is revealed that the mean size of gold nanoparticles synthesized in TX-100 reverse micelles in the presence of sodium sulfite is markedly smaller than that of particles prepared in AOT reverse micelles. This is explained by the fact that gold clusters are formed in the micelle shell rather than in the water pool. In the shell, the clusters are stabilized by oxyethylene groups of TX-100 molecules.
