Silver Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Application for Nanomedicine (2019, background): “[26] In addition, reducing and capping agents can easily be changed or modified to achieve desired characteristics of AgNPs in terms of size distribution, shape, and dispersion rate [27].”
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles: chemical, physical and biological methods (2014, methodology): “Pulse radiolysis technique has been applied to study reactions of inorganic and organic species in silver nanoparticle synthesis, to understand the factors controlling the shape and size of the NPs synthesized by a common reduction method using citrate ions (as reducing and stabilizing agents) (72),”
Synthetic Routes for the Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles (2015, methodology): “Since then, this methodology, known as the Turkevich’s method, has been extended to other metals such as the case of silver [3, 21].”
Synthesis and applications of silver nanoparticles (2010, methodology): “For instance, Bai et al. used polyacrylamide as stabilizer and reducing reagent to synthesize gold nanoparticles (Bai et al., 2007; Brust et al., 1994; He et al., 2004; Pillai and Kamat, 2004; Mock et al., 2002; Bosbach et al., 2002; Hall, 2000; Buffat, 2003; Lee and Stein, 1987).”
