Abstract:Noble metal nanoparticles, such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have found technological applications due to their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). In this context, a great quantity of synthetic methods for the preparation of AgNPs have been developed, including photo-chemical synthesis [1]. The photo-chemical synthesis is an advantageous technique because it is simple and environmentally friendly [2]. In this work, synthesis of AgNPs was performed via direct photo-reduction process of the silver n… Show more
