A study of preparing silver iodide nanocolloid by electrical spark discharge method and its properties.

ABSTRACT: This study employed an electric discharge machine (EDM) and the Electrical Spark Discharge Method (ESDM) to prepare silver iodide nanocolloid (AgINC). Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) was dissolved in deionized water to create a dielectric fluid. Silver material was melted using the high temperature generated by an electric arc, and the peeled-off material was reacted with PVP-I to form AgI nanoparticles (AgINPs). Six discharge pulse wave parameter combinations (Ton-Toff) were employed, and the resultant particle size and suspension of the prepared samples were examined. The results revealed that AgINPs were successfully created using the ESDM. When Ton-Toff was set at 90-90 μs, the zeta potential of the AgINC was - 50.3 mV, indicating excellent suspension stability. The AgINC particle size was 16
