Reverse micelle process is a specific type of microemulsion technique, which is prominently used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. In this method surfactants such as sucrose fatty acid in organic solvent such as hexane or toluene produces reverse micelles . Surfactants, reducing agents and organic solvents are used to enhance the stability, size and overall morphology of AgNPs . There is a water pool inside the microemulsion which is a water phase that consist of reactants. The water phase serves as nanoreactors where silver ions (Ag + ) are reduced to silver atoms (Ag) which then forms AgNPs. Hydrazine , ascorbic acid , sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and glucose are some of the regularly used reducing agents in this method. It was observed that hydrazine hydrate (N2H4.H2O) can yield much smaller AgNPs with higher dispersion as compared to sodium borohydride (NaBH4) which is a strong reducing agent . So, the size distribution of AgNPs in controlled by the strength of reducing agent . The size and distribution of AgNPs obtained also depends on the type of solvent and reducing agents used in the synthesis process . Silver nanoparticles were synthesized in sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelle in this ascorbic acid was used as a reducing agent. AgNPs were obtained with an average size of 6nm . AOT microemulsion is generally used for for the synthesis of AgNPs . AgNPs were prepared by using octadecyl amine (ODA) as solvent and sodium borohydride (strong reducing agent) as a reductant, this resulted in the AgNPs of average size 3.38 nm . This method enables precise control over nanoparticle size and distribution as it provides many choices on the type of surfactants and solvent used . It does not need any specialized equipment and extreme temperature or pressure conditions . Due to the surfactant stabilization agglomeration tendency is low, it is scalable and could be used in large scale synthesis . The AgNPs produced with AOT microemulsion may have poor surface plasmon characteristic .
