An approach towards the synthesis and characterization of ZnO@Ag core@shell nanoparticles in water-in-oil microemulsion†
Abstract
Water-in-oil microemulsions have been found to be good templates and suitable media for the synthesis of ZnO and ZnO@Ag nanoparticles offering themselves as ideal ‘nanoreactors’ for uniform fabrication of core@shell nanoparticles.
