Jyotsna Chauhan, Varsha Rani Mehto, Dharmendra Kumar

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most vital and captivating nanomaterials between numerous metallic nanoparticles that are involved in various applications. In this paper, we briefly discuss the synthesis of AgNPs properties and application for the nanoparticles. The present work shows that the reduction of silver ions from AgNO3 to Ag occurs due reducing agent. The synthesized silver particles have been characterized by UV – Visible, TEM and XRD techniques.

Keywords

AgNPS, Synthesis, nanoparticle, characterization.
