“…AgNPs have strong optical absorption which is attributed to intra-band quantum excitations of the conduction electrons making them good candidates for technological applications, for instance in surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering [5] optical biosensor and photo-catalysis. AgNPs can be synthesized by either chemical or physical approach such as evaporation, sputtering, e-beam, pulsed laser ablation, spark processing, glow discharge growth, rapid oxidation of metal tin, microwave mediated synthesis, hydrothermal, solvothermal, colloidal growth, solegel, chemical vapor deposition, spray pyrolysis, sonochemistry, hydrolysis, self-assembly, electrodeposition, elec-trospinning and carbothermal reduction processes among others [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
