Application


  • Photochemical Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Silver nitrate is pivotal in the photochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles using UV pulsed laser irradiations. The presence of surfactant additives influences the morphology and stability of the synthesized nanoparticles, which have applications in catalysis, sensing, and biomedical fields. This method provides a controlled approach to nanoparticle synthesis, essential for advanced material science and nanotechnology research (Qazi, Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems, 2021).
