Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by a sonochemistry method by using silver stearate and triphenylphosphine as silver precursor and reduction accelerator respectively. The experimental conditions that influence the formation and organization of the particles were investigated, and the particles were characterized by TEM. Results showed that well-ordered two-dimentional (2D)-monolayer was formed after solvent evaporation on a carbon-coated copper TEM grid at the optimal experimental conditions which was that the mole percentage of the amount of reducing agent and triphenylphosphine to silver precursor was 10% and 50% respectively, and the ultrasound power was set at 60% (relative to the maximum ultrasound power value of the machine).
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.
