The synthesis of silver bromide nanoparticles has been studied by many researchers because of their wide ranges of applications. This article reports on the growth kinetics of silver bromide nanoparticles in the presence and absence of aqueous nonionic surfactant media. The effects of different parameters such as the reactant concentration, the temperature, and the presence of a nonionic surfactant have also been studied. It was found that these parameters have significant effects on the process of growth kinetics, as well as on the equilibrium particle size. In pure aqueous media, the particle size decreases with increasing reactant concentration. The presence of nonionic surfactant (TX-100) significantly lowers the AgBr particle size compared to that obtained in pure aqueous media.
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.
