Article: Laser Ablated Silver Nanoparticles with Nearly the Same Size in Different Carrier Media
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilized silver nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 nm were synthesized by laser ablation in preformed colloids in methanol, acetone, ethylene glycol, and glycerin. Aqueous colloids obtained using PVP, poly(vinyl-alcohol) (PVA), and sodium citrate as stabilizing agents also lead to a good control over particle size distribution. Silver ions were reduced with sodium borohydride. The smaller average particle size and narrower dispersivity in comparison to previously reported data were ascribed to the relatively small size of the particles formed in the chemical reduction step, laser fluence, and the use of PVP, which was not previously used as the stabilizing agent in “top-down” routes. The surface plasmon resonance band maximum wavelength shifted from 398 nm in methanol to 425 nm in glycerin. This shift must be due to solvent effects since all other variables were the same.Journal of Nanomaterials. 01/2010; -
