Abstract

Production of Ultrafine Ag Nanoparticles by Laser Ablation in Diluted Sodium Borohydride Solution and Their Antibacterial Properties

Highlights

  • Nanoparticles (NPs), i.e., particles with their sizes below 100 nm have attracted much attention in the last few decades because of their unique properties which are different from their bulk materials

  • One of the recently development methods is laser ablation of solid targets in liquid [23]. This technique is a single step process based on the ablation of a solid target in liquid and different types of liquid media can serve as a medium providing that they are transparent to the laser beam used

  • It is well known that the size and size distribution of Ag nanoparticles affect their UV-vis peaks where narrower peaks indicate a narrower size distribution and shorter wavelength indicate smaller NP sizes

Summary

Introduction

Nanoparticles (NPs), i.e., particles with their sizes below 100 nm have attracted much attention in the last few decades because of their unique properties which are different from their bulk materials. The laser ablation of an Ag target in different concentrations of NaBH4 could lead to the generation of Ag NPs with different size characteristics.
