Abstract

Simple process (exploding wire technique) was used to Prepared sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The graphene sheet was added to AgNPs with different concentrations (0.002g/ml and 0.01g/ml). well dispersion of AgNPs are achieved by simple chemistry process. The samples were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The results showed a wide band absorption of AgNPs-graphene (AgNPs-GN) extended from VU to IR region, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak position for the AgNPs at (350-600) nm, XRD confirmed the clear distribution of the peaks attributed to polycrystalline for AgNPs appeared at 20=38.14°, 44.27°, 64.33, and 77.37° respectively and AgNPs-GN at 2θ=26.51° and 54.65°. The AFM showed that AgNPs have uniformly distribution on the surface of graphene sheet. The average size of AgNPs was confirmed by around (50-80) nm by FESEM and the AgNPs-GN have average particle size (20-40) nm. The AgNPs-GN could become prominent candidate for optoelectronic applications.
