Formation of GeO2 Nanosheets Using Water Thin Layers in Lamellar Phase As a Confined Reaction Field--in Situ Measurement of SAXS by Synchrotron Radiation

Highly crystallized GeO2 nanosheets were synthesized by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of germanium alkoxide using a 2-dimensional flat thin lamellar phase water layer containing surfactant molecules at the liquid-liquid interface as a confined reaction field.
