Figure 30 Schematics of the lyotropic liquid crystals used in the study, depicting periodically ordered hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains (a) hexagonal phase, (b) lamellar phase, and (c) inverse hexagonal phase. Hydrophilic domains are dark-colored, hydrophobic domains are light-colored, and TEM micrographs of Bi nanoparticles produced by shear-mixing lyotropic liquid crystals containing 0.05 M BiCls and 0.4 M C1CI2 as the aqueous component, (d) Hexagonal phase, (e) lamellar phase, and (f) invase hexagonal phase.
