Synthesis of silver nanoparticles supported on silica aerogel using gamma radiolysis

Silver Nanoparticles

“…Moreover, silver nanoparticles supported on silica aero-gel were produced using gamma radiolysis. The produced silver clusters were stable in the 2-9 pH range and started agglomeration at pH > 9 (Ramnami et al 2007). Oligochitosan as a stabilizer can be used in a preparation of silver nanoparticles by gamma radiation.…”

Nanofluids for Heat Transfer

“…The synthesis can be described in three parts (i) radiolysis of the solvent, (ii) reduction reaction of metal ions by species produced by radiolysis followed by (iii) coalescence of the produced atoms (Benoit et al, 2009;Ramnani et al, 2007;Temgire et al, 2011).…”

Size Control Technology of Silver Nanoparticles Using Electron Beam Irradiation

“…[9][10][11][12][13] In particular, radiationinduced synthesis is the most recent technology in this field, and is a promising method because of its many advantages and because of the "green" process achievable with irradiation techniques 14 compared to conventional methods: 1) radiation-induced synthesis is a clean process in which no chemical initiator or catalysts are used; 2) it is very simple and inexpensive; and 3) it is easily able to control the reduction of metal ion, and can be used to obtain metal nanoparticles that are fully reduced, very pure, and in a highly stable state.…”

“…3 Several researchers [10][11][12][13][14][15] have shown the synthesis of nanoparticles by a radiation-induced reduction.…”
