Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles By Chemical Reduction Method: Effect of Reducing Agent and Surfactant Concentration

Uniform, well-dispersed, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by a simple chemical reduction method. The particles were synthesized via the reduction of AgNO3 by trisodium citrate and ascorbic acid as a surfactant. The resulting AgNPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, transmis...
