The wet chemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by reduction of silver nitrate with sodium citrate, tannic acid, and their mixture is reported. The obtained silver nanoparticles were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images and their antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli was assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
