Abstract:
An artificial oil/water interface was created in normal microemulsions. Various well-dispersed inorganic nanoparticles were successfully fabricated at this micelle interface, and a "hot liquid annealing" process was used to crystallize the products. Owing to the large solubility of the source materials in the water phase, the colloidal nanoparticles can easily be prepared on a large scale. Compared with traditional reverse-microemulsion methods, the method reported here yields larger amounts of colloidal particles but with the same quality.

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
