Synthesis of silver hollow nanoparticles and observation of photoluminescence emission properties

Sun-light-driven photocatalytic activity by ZnO/Ag heteronanostructures synthesized via a facile thermal decomposition approach

“…The strong emission band at 357 nm is attributed to radiative recombination of occupied electrons from the sp band with holes in the valence d band. 53 The broad emission between 400 and 600 nm is due to radiative decay of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation in the Ag nanoparticles. 54 The PL spectra of ZnO/Ag heteronanostructures exhibit similar emission bands as that of pure ZnO nanorods and pure Ag nanoparticles with noticeable intensity reduction.…”

Effect of Laser Fluence on the Characteristics of Ag Nanoparticles Produced by Laser Ablation

“…Engineered nanoparticles are used in biomedical applications such as antibacterial implants or catheters, modification of textiles, and refinement of polymers [10]. Silver NPs are also used in biosensors for glucose monitoring in diabetes patients and other medical health related target [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Microwave‐assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles on cotton fabric modified with 3‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane

“…In recent years, metal nanoparticles have been widely synthesized and applied to textiles because of their size dependent optical and electronic properties . Among them, silver nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention because of its potential applications in various fields such as photonics, microelectronics, photocatalysis, lithography, and biosensor material . Silver nanoparticle deposited on textile substrates has been used to produce multifunctional materials with properties of antibacterial and antistatic, electrical conductivity, EMI shielding, ultraviolet (UV) protection, and water repellency …”
