“…Generally, methods such as mechanical grinding, laser ablation, and thermal decomposition are used to reduce the size of bulk silver to obtain AgNPs ( Meyers, et al, 2006 ), and then AgNPs are deposited on the GO sheet through interactions such as physical adsorption or electrostatic bonding ( Karuppiah, et al, 2015 ; Pratheesya, et al, 2019 ; Liu, et al, 2020 ). The step-by-step deposition method has certain advantages in controlling the size and shape of AgNPs, but the operation is complicated, time-consuming, costly and generally requires expensive specialized equipment ( Wang, et al, 2012 ; Stadler, et al, 2018 ).…”
