Synthesis of Nickel Nanoparticles in Water-in-Oil Microemulsions
Abstract
The synthesis of nickel nanoparticles by the reduction of nickel chloride with hydrazine in the cationic water-in-oil microemulsions of water/CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)/ n -hexanol at 73 °C has been studied. By the analyses of electron diffraction pattern and X-ray diffraction, the resultant particles were characterized to be the pure nickel crystalline with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. The investigation on the composition of microemulsion solution indicated that the average diameter of nickel nanoparticles was affected mainly by the ratio of CTAB to n -hexanol instead of the size of microemulsion droplets. Smaller particles could be obtained at higher ratios of CTAB to n -hexanol. At a constant nickel chloride concentration, the average diameter of nickel nanoparticles decreased with the increase of hydrazine concentration and then approached to a constant value when the concentration ratio of hydrazine to nickel chloride was above 10. At a sufficient high hydrazine concentration, the average diameter of nickel nanoparticles was independent of nickel chloride concentration. The effects of microemulsion composition and the concentrations of hydrazine and nickel chloride on the particle size are discussed in detail. The magnetic measurements for a typical sample with an average diameter of 4.6 nm showed that the resultant nickel nanoparticles were superparamagnetic due to extremely small size. The saturation magnetization (26.2 emu/g), remanent magnetization (0.67 emu/g), and the coercivity (7.5 Oe) were significantly smaller than those of the bulk nickel, reflecting the nanoparticle nature. In addition, the magnetization was observed to increase with the decrease of temperature due to the decrease in thermal energy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
