Ag NPs

Synthesis Procedure:

1. • Preparation of Ag Precursor Solution:

     1. Dissolve 19.7 mM of silver nitrate (AgNO3) in 20 mL of ethanol or DMF.

     2. Stir the solution continuously for 30 minutes using a magnetic stirrer to ensure complete dissolution.

     3. In another beaker dissolve 0.1 M of HCL in DMF, then added it to the previous solution. 

   • Dispersion and Hydrothermal Treatment:

     1. Transfer the well-mixed solution into a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave.

     2. Heat the autoclave at 140°C for 1 hour to facilitate the formation of Ag NPs.

   • Purification and Drying Process:

     1. Allow the autoclave to cool naturally to room temperature.

     2. Wash the precipitate thoroughly with deionized water to remove impurities.

     3. Use a centrifuge to separate the nanosheets.

   • Final Collection:

     1. Collect the synthesized Ag NPs for further analysis and applications.
