A novel one-pot method was developed in this work to synthesize and disperse nanoparticles in a binary base fluid. As an example, stable magnetite iron oxide (Fe3O4) dispersions, i.e., nanofluids, were produced in a high ionic media of binary lithium bromide-water using a microemulsion-mediated method. The effects of temperature and precursor concentration on morphology and size distribution of produced nanoparticles were evaluated. An effective steric repulsion force was provided by the surface functionalization of nanoparticles during the phase transfer, supported by the Derjaguin.Landau. Verwey.Overbeek (DLVO) theory. The formed nanoparticles exhibited a superior stability against agglomeration in the presence of high concentrations of lithium bromide, i.e., from 20 to 50 wt.%, which make them good candidates for a range of novel applications.
