The size of silver nanoparticles plays a crucial role in their ultimate application in the
medical and industrial fields, as their efficacy is enhanced by decreasing dimensions. This
study presents two chemical synthesis procedures for obtaining silver particles and
compares the results to a commercially available Ag-based product. The first procedure
involves laboratory-based chemical reduction using D-glucose (C6H12O6) and NaOH as
reducing agents, while the second approach utilizes trisodium citrate dehydrate …
The size of silver nanoparticles plays a crucial role in their ultimate application in the medical and industrial fields, as their efficacy is enhanced by decreasing dimensions. This study presents two chemical synthesis procedures for obtaining silver particles and compares the results to a commercially available Ag-based product. The first procedure involves laboratory-based chemical reduction using D-glucose (C6H12O6) and NaOH as reducing agents, while the second approach utilizes trisodium citrate dehydrate (C6H5Na3O7·2H2O, TSC). The Ag nanoparticle suspensions were examined using FT-IR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, which indicated the formation of Ag particles. The dimensional properties were investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and confirmed by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The results showed particle size from microparticles to nanoparticles, with a particle size of approximately 60 nm observed for the laboratory-based TSC synthesis approach.
