Facile controlled synthesis of silver particles with high catalytic activity

Synthesis and Comparative Biological Properties of Ag-PEG Nanoparticles with Tunable Morphologies from Janus to Multi-Core Shell Structure

“…Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have attracted increasing interest due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering, catalytic activity, non-linear optical behavior and broad-spectrum bactericidal activity [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Many methods have been reported for the synthesis of AgNPs with chemical, physical, photochemical and biological routes with tunable size and shape [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Facile synthesis of silver submicrospheres and their applications

“…6 The highest reaction constant obtained by Cai et al was 2.3 Â 10 À3 S À1 . 40 Although the K app values of catalytic reduction from the present silver submicroparticles are slightly smaller than those from the nano-sized silver particles, 36,43 the facile synthesis and easy separation of the silver submicroparticles obtained in this research conduce to their application in catalytic reactions. The silver submicroparticles were separated from an original aqueous solution and redispersed in water.…”

“…In the presence of excess NaBH 4 , the reduction of 4-NP is generally treated as pseudo-rst-order kinetic reaction. 39,40 Fig. 6B shows the plots of ln(A t /A 0 ) versus time.…”

“…The apparent rate constant (K app ) of the catalytic reactions can be obtained from the linear slop of ln(A t /A 0 ) versus time. 40,42,43 The K app values of reduction reaction in the presence of samples A1-E1 were estimated to be 4.28 Â 10 À3 , 3.15 Â 10 À3 , 4.00 Â 10 À3 , 4.31 Â 10 À3 and 4.60 Â 10 À3 S À1 , respectively. The K app values obtained in this study are compared to the related results in literature for silver particles.…”

“…The K app values obtained in this study are compared to the related results in literature for silver particles. 6,40,[44][45][46][47] For example, Jiang and co-workers reported that the kinetic reaction rate of catalytic reaction with synthesized submicron-sized silver particles was 2.15 Â 10 À3 S À1 . 6 The highest reaction constant obtained by Cai et al was 2.3 Â 10 À3 S À1 .…”
