Low dimensional CuI nanomaterials were synthesized in microemulsions containing cyclohexane, Triton X 100, n pentanol and aqueous solution. The redox reaction took place in this system and the final products CuI were obtained. It′s found that the morphology of CuI could be influenced a great deal by the experimental parameters such as w0 (the molar ratio of water to surfactant), reactant concentration and the aging time. Hexagonal or shuttle like CuI flakes, nanoparticles and nanofibers could be prepared respectively under certain conditions.
CaSO4 Nanorods/wires were synthesized in quaternary W/O microemulsion soluti on containing triton X-100, cyclohexane and n-pentanol. Transmission electro n microscopy (TEM) was utilized to characterize the shape and size of products a s-prepared, as well as electron diffraction (ED) pattern was obtained for desi gnated nanorods (wires). It is revealed that ù0 (molar ratio of water to surfa ctant),reactants concentration and aging time play an important role in the form ation of different morphologies and size of synthesized CaSO4 nanocrystal.
