Preparation of nanostructured silver by chemical reduction
Ag+ ions were reduced with ascorbic acid in aq. soln. at 20-50 degrees C in presence of Na5P3O10 stabilizer to Ag nanoparticles (50-80 nm). The optimum process conditions were detd. (50 degrees C, Na5P3O10/Ag+ mole ratio 7.5, ascorbic acid/Ag+ mole ratio 3.5).
