General description

Our silver nanoparticles (40 nm in diameter) are spherical nanoparticles of metallic silver dispersed in an aqueous citrate buffer. This buffer stabilizes the dispersion; citrate ions adsorb onto the surface of the silver nanoparticles and create a protective layer that prevents aggregation. Because of the nanoparticles′ small size the nanoparticles exhibit quantum confined optical properties, most notably an emission wavelength of (λem) of412 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of only 63 nm, owing to the monodispersity of the particles. The optoelectronic properties in combination with a high surface area make our silver nanoparticles useful in biosensors and fluorescent imaging for the sensitive detection of biomolecules, pathogens, and environmental contaminants.

Application

  • Silver as acrolein hydrogenation catalyst: intricate effects of catalyst nature and reactant partial pressures.: This study explores the use of silver as a catalyst for acrolein hydrogenation, highlighting the complex effects of catalyst nature and the partial pressures of reactants, which could inform future applications in industrial chemical processes (Bron et al., 2007).
  • Surface-enhanced Raman analysis of sulfa drugs on colloidal silver dispersion.: This research discusses the application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using colloidal silver dispersions for analyzing sulfa drugs, potentially enhancing detection methods in pharmaceutical research (Sutherland et al., 1990).
