Turkevich silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for direct fabrication of SiO 2/Ag nanocomposites
(NCs). The technique utilizes electrostatic interaction of ex situ synthesized amine-
functionalized positively-charged SiO 2 NPs and citrate-capped negatively-charged Ag NPs.
The formation of nanoparticles was confirmed using various analytical techniques and
explored for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) at ambient temperature under …
