This research evaluates the potential of soap microfilms to synthesize metal nanoparticles at ambient conditions without external energy.
Used soap microfilms of various metal ion precursors suspended using a plastic bubble wand.
Examined synthesized nanoparticles via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
Conducted control experiments in bulk solutions for comparative analysis.
Metal nanoparticles were successfully formed, with distinct morphologies observed based on metal type.
Gold nanoparticles exhibited nanostar shapes, while others showed dendrites or nanowires depending on microfilm integrity.
Control experiments showed no reduction of metal ions in bulk solutions, confirming the unique reactivity of soap microfilms.
