Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to novel methods for the solution-based production of silver nanocubes. This method differs, inter alia, from the traditional polyol method in that reactants (such as AgNO3 and/or PVP) can be added to the reaction mixture in solid form rather than as a solution.
Claims9
A method for the production of silver nanocubes comprising:
- a) combining as reactants:
- i) at least one polyol;
- ii) at least one silver compound;
- and
- iii) at least one organic protective agent (OPA);
- wherein the silver compound is in solid form when combined with the other reactants:
- and
- b) reacting the reactants to produce silver nanocubes.
