Nanosilver Synthesis Under Control of Ligands Containing Azoresorcinol Group by Laser Irradiation
In present investigation we report an easy method of preparation of silver nanoparticles by laser beam irradiation on metal salt solution in presence of ligand containing azo-resorcinol group. A solution mixture of silver nitrate and alkaline solution of ligand EBT (Eriochrome Black T, NaH2L) was irradiated with laser beam ( = 4000 Å) for a period of five minutes. The morphology of silver nanoparticles thus formed was studied by TEM analysis. A plaussible formation mechanism has also been discussed in this article.
