2 O nanoparticles of new precursor [Ag (Hsal)]. The XRD results showed that pure cubic Ag
and hexagonal Ag 2 O could be obtained after annealing at 400° C for 3 h in an Ar gas and
in an air, respectively. To the best of author׳ s knowledge, it is the first time that [Ag (Hsal)]
complex is used as silver source for the synthesis of Ag 2 O and Ag nanoparticles.
Photoluminescence (Pl) was used to study the optical properties of Ag and Ag 2 O …
