Abstract:Silver nanoplates with thickness of tens of nanometres and widths in the range of 5-10 μm were successfully prepared employing a facile solution-based route based on the redox reaction between silver ions and ferrous ions. Furthermore, the influences of the mass ratio of reactants, surfactant concentration, reaction temperature and the type of surfactants on the morphologies of silver powders were carefully studied. The phase structure and morphology of silver powders are characterised by X-ray diffraction, sc… Show more
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.
