Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesizd by a light-assisted liquid phase reduction method with sodium hypophosphite as a reducing agent. DTAB was used to perform as the surfactant. AgNPs were characterized with powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result showed that the nanoparticles are spherical and cube. The effect of temperature on the morphology and properties of silver nanoparticles was investigated. The ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption and the fluorescent properties of the as-prepared AgNPs were explored.
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.
