USE OF CARBOHYDRATES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF SYSTEMS CONTAINING SILVER NANOPARTICLES.

Abstract

This article provides information on methods of synthesis of silver nanoparticles, methods of solution stabilization, and morphology of the obtained colloidal solution. Silver nitrate salt as the main substance, sodium citrate as a reducing agent, glucose, hydrazine, and carbohydrates as a stabilizer were used in the researches on the methods of obtaining silver nanoparticles. The formation of a silver nanoparticle colloidal system was studied in the experiments. By controlling the reaction conditions during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes can be prepared. The dependence of the shape and size of silver nanoparticles on the concentration of the obtained silver salt and the nature of the stabilizer was studied.
