Abstract

This paper discusses the effect of reaction time and temperature of silver-copper nanoparticles prepared by a polyol method. In this study, silver-copper nanoparticles were synthesized through the green approach of polyol method using ethylene glycol (EG) as green solvent and reductant, and polyoxyethylene-(80)-sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) as a nontoxic stabilizer. The phase and morphology of silver-copper nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The results XRD confirmed silver and copper nanoparticles to be phase-pure crystalline silver and copper with face-centered cubic (fcc) structure on the basis of XRD analyses. FESEM analysis confirmed the existence of Ag and Cu nanoparticles.
