The results of study of anodic dissolution process of silver in alcoholic solutions of salts applied to the synthesis of nanoparticles of silver are presented. Silver electrode in alcoholic solutions of LiClO 4 dissolves at anodic potentials, higher than 0.6 V. Silver passes to the solution in the form of soluble complexes. As a result of further processes (oxidation-reduction) in electrolyte metallic silver nanoparticles are acquired. The silver nanoparticles were indentified using spectroscopic techniques; SEM, TEM, XPS. The mechanism of the process is proposed.Keywords: silver nanoparticles, organic solvents, anodic dissolution Przedstawiono wyniki badań anodowego roztwarzania srebra w alkoholowych roztworach soli oraz możliwość wykorzystania tego procesu do syntezy nanoczastek metalicznego srebra. Elektroda srebrna roztwarza się w alkoholowych roztworach LiClO4 przy potencjałach anodowych wyższych od 0.6 V. Srebro przechodzi do roztworu w postaci rozpuszczalnych kompleksów. W wyniku wtórnych procesów (oksydacyjno redukcyjnych) w elektrolicie tworzą się nanocząstki metalicznego srebra. Nanocząstki srebra były analizowane przy pomocy technik SEM, TEM, XPS.

Studies of the effect of the kind of alcohol, electrolyte concentration and water on the anodic dissolution of zinc and the nature of dissolution products were performed. The dissolution products were analyzed by spectroscopic methods (SEM/EDS, XPS and UV-vis) and X-ray diffraction. These studies have shown that the process of anodic dissolution of zinc in alcohol electrolytes (methanol and ethanol) in the presence of water (1-5% vol.), is a simple way to obtain ZnO nanoparticles.Keywords: zinc, anodic dissolution, organic solvents, nanoparticles ZnOPrzeprowadzono badania wpływu rodzaju alkoholu, stężenia elektrolitu oraz zawartości wody na proces anodowego roztwarzania cynku i charakter tworzących się produktów roztwarzania w obszarze wysokich potencjałów. Do identyfikacji produktów anodowego roztwarzania wykorzystano spektroskopowe techniki badawcze (SEM/EDS, XPS, UV-vis) oraz metodę dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej. Badania te wykazały że proces anodowego roztwarzania cynku w alkoholowych elektrolitach (metanolowych i etanolowych) w obecności wody (1-5% obj.), jest prostym sposobem otrzymywania nanocząstek ZnO.
This article presents studies of the morphology and structure of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by the electrochemical method. Colloidal solutions of the nanoparticles are obtained by an anodic dissolution of metallic zinc in alcohol solutions of lithium chloride containing a small amount of water (5 % vol.). The parameters chosen for the synthesis are based on Zn polarization curves(obtained using the the potentiokinetic (Linear Sweep Voltammetry-LSV) and the chronoamperometric method. The synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles is carried out in 0.05m LiCl + 5 % H 2 O alcohol (methanol or propanol) solutions during galvanostatic polarization of Zn at 3 mA/cm 2 current density. The process is performed in a two-electrode system, where both electrodes (the working anode and cathode) are made of zinc. Optical properties, morphology and structure of the colloidal solutions and powders (obtained after evaporating the solvent) were studied using the following spectroscopic and microscopic techniques: UltraViolet and Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
