Abstract
The synthesis of silver iodide nanoparticles for variety of applications such as photocatalyst and antibacterial properties has attracted broad interest due to the extraordinary properties of these materials. The preparation of silver iodide nanoparticles through a physical or chemical reduction process is the most common methodology applied to obtain nanoparticles with the required size, shape, and surface morphology. This review paper discusses the details concerning the past and recent advancement of the synthesis and characterization of silver iodide nanoparticles and also composite silver iodide/carbon nanotubes nanoparticles. A review on the advantages of various techniques, which aim to achieve the photo catalyst and antibacterial properties is also included. A brief summary concerning the recent challenges and improvement approaches is presented at the end of this review.
