Silver Nanoparticles

[preeti22]

According to my knowledge Silver Nano Particles are derived from silver oxides. these particles are silver in color. anybody knows the use of Silver Nano Particles ? please share your knowledge.

Very finely divided metals are usually black.

According to this

a solution of nanoparticulate silver would be yellowish.

 

So called colloidal silver has been used for centuries as a disinfectant. The particle size for colloidal silver makes it nanoparticulate.

very nice post. you have provided a good link. that website have nice information..thanks

Surface enhanced ramen spectroscopy, and stained glass spring to mind.

Catalysis of several organic chemical reactions and the calibration, with respect to particle size, of various light scatteting spectrometers such as DLS (dynamic light scatteting), Mie scatteting, and Zeta tracking come to mind.

 

Also, I've heard of glassy carbon electrodes being doped with silver nanoparticles though whether or not they would still be considered nanoparticles once incorporated into an amorphous carbon lattice is up for debate. I've never seen these kind of electrodes so take thsat with a grain of [salt] AgCl.
