The influence of UV irradiation on the formation of Ag molecular clusters in aqueous solutions containing
metals (Zn,Mg,Ag) nitrates and polyvinylpyrrolidone has been studied. Optical and luminescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy were used in this study. It was found that UV irradiation significantly accelerates Ag ions reduction and Ag molecular clusters and nanoparticle formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
