“…28 The Bragg reflections at 38.16 , 44.28 , 64.38 , 77.74 , and 81.54 corresponded to the indexed planes of the crystals (111), (200), (220), (311), and (222) of Ag 0 , Which pertain to a face centered cubic (fcc) lattice of silver. 30,31 In Figure 5(b-d), the three major characteristic peaks of Ag-Cts composite were corresponding with the crystal face of (111), (200), and (220) of AgNPs. The XRD of Ag-Cts composite showed similar pattern with that of pure Ag nanocrystal, which indicated the crystalline structure of AgNPs did not change when they were introduced into Cts matrix.…”
