“…Ag, Au, Cu, Pt, Ti, and Pd NPs). This could be achieved using chemical reducing agents, such as ethylene glycol [12,13], hydrazine hydrate [14,15], and glucose [16], in the presence of PAAm as a capping (a stabilizing agent). The hydrothermal technique, another oldest technique, was defined by Roy [17] as the synthesis of NPs from a component of solid phases, involving water as a catalyst and at occasional instances where the synthesis reaction was conducted at elevated temperature (>100 °C) and pressure (>1 atm) [17].…”
