Abstract

Here, we report, for the first time, the formation of a new thermoreversible organogel based on self-assembly of oleic acid (OA) and hexadecylamine (HDA) in ethylene glycol (EG) with addition of NaOH; this gelator can act as a template and carbon source for synthesis of Sn nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon.
